Doug,
Thanks. Prior to replacing the batteries for over a year I had problems with this same soleoid "powering down". The switch would glow green and after repeated attempts would go off. After that I would sometimes hear a clicking sound in the engine compartment as though a solenoid was trying to latch or unlatch. That has never happened with the new batteries. I have not checked to see if this version of the board has fuses at the solenoids as I have to take the board off to get to the solenoids. I don't know why the solenoid would work after starting the engine if a fuse is blown and I also measured voltage across the S and I test points during the latching process when the engine was running. Thanks for the comments.
