Ok, so blue sat for a week or so since we got Barnie and I have been driving the explorer to work.
I went to crank her to go get hay and a puff of smoke came from under the hood. I have the alternator with internal regulator and the wires going to battery and solenoid smoked. I talked to the guy that did the alternator and it was just the insulation and he said it should still crank, but nothing.
So since I have never replaced the solenoid and that was inexpensive I bought one.
I had been sick and taking medicine and was being a "girl" I undid everything and then couldn't remember how it went back.
Can someone post a pic or direct me somewhere that I can find out how the wires go back on the solenoid so I can try to crank Blue?
Hubby tried to figure it out, but bless his heart, he is not a mechanic. I really don't want to pay a tow bill for someone to take 2 minutes to fix this.
