Drops from 12.5 to 8 volts when turning on ignition. Won't engage the solenoid. New starter and solenoid are already installed. Any ideas to where its pulling voltage towards?
If occured BEFORE starter and solenoid replacement:
Remove wires from ignition switch and try connecting direct. Switch itself could be shorting internally.
If after...
Reexamine how you have the wires to new solenoid connected. Many forklift wirings connect the solenoids
in many configurations. You may have the wires connected to the wrong posts.
