How to test a VW Diesel TDI Fuel Shutoff Solenoid

[@DarElBarka]

Thanks for the video - what is that tool you have connected to the computer power supply? I need one of those

[@DIY-Gpa]

Dar El Barka - the electrical leads I’m using in the video came with the bench tester when I purchased it. Let me know if that answers your question.

@@DIY-Gpa oh ok - I thought u purchased it separately. This is a cool tool to have. I'm currently trying to test my Solenoid outside off my car to make sure 100% that it is the issue.

How do i wire it on.the vehicle. If the threaded supply is negative. The body is grounded on the injection pump. Will it not short?

[@jagobouffler6206]

Send positive to the threaded end

Red on tread wire..... You did the wrong way

[@agentnuget]

When bench testing it doesn't normally matter with solenoids which side is positive and negative. When it's in the car that's different of course. Solenoids are just electric switches, you can reverse polarity without any danger.

Here is a link (on Amazon.com) to the bench power supply I’m using in this video. The electrical leads came with this unit. DC Power Supply Variable, Eventek KPS305D Adjustable Switching Regulated Power Supply Digital, 0-30 V 0-5 A with Alligator Leads US Power Cord www.amazon.com/dp/B071RNT1CD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Co.-Cb990TBQR

I hope you can help understand why the solenoid comes with a "solenoid control" with 3 pins part number: 0281005025 In my case the truck stops without a notice and runs great when it runs.
