Hi
On my 4320 there is a cab and in the overhead there is a blower fan and wiper switch. A month ago these did not work. Traced the problem to a solenoid on the steering counsel under the cover on the left side. Replaced it and all was perfect for about 1 hour or 4-5 engine starts. Then the solenoid failed. Figured it was a bad part. Replaced this part 2 more times and the same thing is happening. Tried a heavy duty solenoid same problem.
OK I checked the amp draw from the blower motor and wiper. 5 to 8 amps seems normal.
Checked the failed solenoid and it will not trip when powered.
Any ideas on what could be frying the solenoids?
A few more things I should also mention.
The solenoid is activated when the key is turned on. A wire from the ignition switch to the control terminal on the solenoid. One wire only and the power stays on until you turn off the key.
This is the oem design and original part. One terminal on the solenoid.
12 volt system
Thanks
