Boost solenoid wiring help.
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys, i have one of these solenoids : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300688618765?ssP...984.m1497.l2649

And am a little bit confused a how to wire it. Its a two way switched solenoid, but when i had a look at the plug it's self. It seems to have 2 x live and 1 x earth. I want to wire in a toggle switch to flick between two set boost levels.

Can anyone shine any light on this please?

The plug looks as follows (helped by a few tins )

i tested mine with a battery live and an earth, touched the pins to see what happens lol

Yes i moved to the darkside

Could one of the lives be used for the toggle switch and the other for a power source?

Take a picture of the pins when it arrives and we may be able to offer more of a clue.

Here you go. Hope these help.

Bottom one is earth, I would guess number 2 is your signal and number one 12v supply

I will give that a go Andy cheers. I'm sure it was either Ben or will H that recommended this solenoid, hence why i chose it.
