im having a wierd probelm wit my solenoids , i keep buying new ones and the one at the end that connects to the battery keeps catching on flames..i duno wat it could be..i checked all the grounds i cleaned it all up wit a dremel tool and took off all paint and everything so maybe u guys can give me a diagram similair to how mine is setup and maybe correct my setup for me and re-post the picture so i can see the different ways to do it..ive had 3 solenoids for the front but it kept burning up so i ran 4 solenoids and the same shit happened so i duno wat the hell it can be but here goes my diagram..PAINT SHOP!! haha..

by the way ...its 24 volt wire not 12 volt wire! just a lil mistake i did

it works, too. i doesn't matter where you install your noids, but it doesn't help solving his problem. maybe he have to use better noids or use 6 noids - 3 paralell + 3 serial....

I just had another look. maybe youre right?

do they burn up instantly, or is it after a couple hits...96v through 12v solenoids. they won't last very long, you should get some 24v, even 36v. i know the accurate solenoids are 24v, and i've seen some from a semi that are 36v. as far as you wiring it looks correct to me. your going to need the thickest wire you could get your hands on. hope this helps somehow.

it`s not the volts that kill the noids it`s the amps if you wire the batterys and noids this way (pic above)it cuts the amps in half that are going through the noids

 

[93CaDiWoOd]

the noids blow after a couple hits and its only the first noid where one end is connected to the battery and tha other end is connected to a noid..its only one that catches on fire ...the SAME ONE

 

[Guest]

what size wire are you using ?

 

[93CaDiWoOd]

1 gauge wiring for batterys & solenoids and im sure thats good enough..or mroe then good enough..so yea i dont know wat the hell the problem could be..unless theres sum type of way i can split the solenoids or sumthing or how to wire them up where they wont burn out?

 

[chato83]

i like to use 1/O and make sure all your cables are 1/O even your ground make sure all grounds are clean and wire it like hoss and you will not have any problems with solenoids make sure you get a good starter

 

[93CaDiWoOd]

does the block have to be grounded real good or wut?..cuz maybe its the block ..cuz i think theres alot fo grease between the block and the bolts

yes it should be clean, metal to metal contact.

 

[Infamous James]

WTF YOU RUNNING 96 VOLTS FOR ANYWAY??? UNLESS YOU ARE STRAIGHT COMPETITION AND DONT CARE ABOUT ROLLIN THE STREET...BACK IT DOWN TO 60 V OR MAX 72....YOU WILL GET WAY MORE LIFE OUT OF YOUR MOTORS, NOIDS, AND PROBABLY WONT BREAK AS MUCH SHIT!!!!!



USE THESE.....60V HD....AND USE A 12V AS A SWITCH TO TURN THEM ON!!!

 

[93CaDiWoOd]

so it can be the block not grounded well ....cuz its just the first solenoid that keeps catching on fire ..like if all the power stops at that noid and causes it to catch on fire???

 

[93CaDiWoOd]

so if its too much volts/amps or wutever, then if sumone can give me a diagram on how to do it...or wat to do ..and how much solenoids i really need or wut the problem could be..
