Frank Wilkie Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 What new solenoid's are used to replace the original one's for the activation of the compensator load leveling system on the 1955 Packard Patrician? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH56 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Cole-Hersee 24046 Note the solenoid coil has one side connected internally to the battery input. The other side of the coil is grounded by the TL switch. They are not the same as the usual starter solenoids sold at parts stores. Some ebay vendors carry them as well as Elecdirect.com Edited November 27, 2016 by HH56 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH56 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) When you get the new solenoid check the large terminals. One will have BAT stamped next to it so be sure that is the one connected to the copper strip and red power wire. I seem to recall someone saying his new solenoid had to mount upside down compared to the original. If that is the case there is another solenoid where the coil internally connects to the large terminal on the other side of case making a mirrored pair. I do not know which one is correct for the bracket in the 55. In 56 believe they were both the same but 55 may have had one of each.
