Which of the following statements about a starter solenoid pull-in and hold-in windings is true?
A) pull-in windings have more winding turns than hold-in windings
B) pull-in windings use a heavier gauge than hold-in windings
C) hold-in windings permit higher current flow
D) hold-in windings are energized for less time during a cranking cycle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
