    Hey guys, In theory, if a solenoid itself is causing a short, I should be able to remove the solenoid, and splice the wires (50+vdc) from the lugs together and it shouldn't blow the fuse right? Figured I'd run this by you before I tried it. I guess in short, the question is, can I simply remove the solenoid out of the circuit and patch the in/out leads together.

    Thanks

    Thanks. So removing the solenoid and taping the solenoid leads (not together) should prevent the fuse from blowing if the coil itself is causing the short?

    And just so I’m aware. The reason you can’t do what I was mentioning is because 50-60vdc goes in, but the load uses some of the volts, and the output expects much less?
