Hi does anyone have any idea on how many amps are drawn across the 2 purple wires that go to the inhibitor switch (park/neutral) on a HX Kingswood?
if i buy a multimeter to test it do i put one probe from the multimeter on one wire and the other on the other wire and turn the engine over to measure the amps drawn?
Ive never used or owned a multimeter so have no idea on how they work.

This is in the starting circuit, so what ever the solanoid draws (maybe 6 amps)will go via the switch. If you extend the circuit you can get to much volt drop when the engin is warm as the copper windings increase resistance it just wont start. untill the
