What the deal with solenoids. On old cars they seem to go out all the time. I just don’t understand how after all these years they haven’t figured out how to make one that doesn’t break it it gets too hot? Retarded.

There’s not too many things I trust myself to do when it comes to working on a car. However swapping a solenoid it pretty basic. So, After a week of “jumpping” it by hand I took a liitle time out of the weekend to change it out.

Here’s the old piece of crap. By old I mean like a month or two. Lame!

Here’s where to find it if you’re like me and weren’t born with the knowledge.

Off to Kragan! I swear this store really appeals to the white trash in me. I just love looking at all this stuff.

Back home with the 10 dollar replacement part. It has a lifetime warranty. I’m sure I’ve already lost the receipt. Anyway, I pulled the old one out and replaced it with the new one. Man that was so easy! It’s almost like I know what I’m doing.

Oh wait, I don’t know what I’m doing. I forgot to connect these guys. The car won’t start without’em. Oooops.

Success! Now I can look forward to another month or two of starting my car!
