Where does the purple wire go on the solenoid?
Where does the purple wire go on the solenoid?
The purple wire goes to the small terminal on the solenoid that is closest to the engine block. On the cars up to ’75, the other small terminal on the solenoid would have the bypass wire going to the ignition coil. ’75 & up cars do not have a wire on this terminal, so you will have one small terminal towards the outside of the car with no wire (s).
What should I do if my electric fireplace is not working?
Turn your electric fireplace off at the unit, and turn it off and unplug the power cable at the wall socket. Leave the fireplace for a period of time to cool down, and then try using it again. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the inlet or outlet to the heater component. Ensure that the electric fireplace heater is clean and dust free.
What kind of wires does a solenoid have?
The large terminal on the solenoid should have the battery cable, and usually two, sometimes more “hot” wires that power the rest of the car…headlights, horn, etc. These smaller wires will have fuse links.
What happens if an outlet is blocked on an electric fireplace?
Ensure that the inlet or outlet to the electric fireplace heater aren’t blocked. A blocked inlet to the heater will prevent air from circulating through the heating element and providing warm air to the room. A blocked outlet from the fireplace heater will prevent the warm air from being distributed into the room.

When does a solenoid need to be replaced?
Starter – Some solenoids are mounted to the starter, but some are located directly inside the starter housing. When this is the case, it may be necessary to replace the entire starter when the solenoid goes bad. Sometimes the starter itself is the problem. Electrical issues can be annoying and inconvenient.
