Yes.Then I read something about the solinoid panel having to be grounded. So I took some paint off the xp motor housing and low and behold It started all working. Does this sound right?
The solenoids ground to their mounting plate. The plate grounds to the motor when it's clamped to it. (The motor has the ground wire from the battery attached to a lug on the case.) So, if there isn't good contact due to paint, etc., the circuit will not be complete.
When I did the resto on my 8274, I added an additional short ground wire from the solenoid plate to the motor ground lug.
