Ole came over and verified my reverse polarity situation.
spool out was spool in, and spool in was spool out. He showed me the correct wiring and that fixed that issue.
The motor had a heat fuse that was discovered to have blown; preventing it from spooling in (now that i corrected the polarity) . I hard wired the heat fuse ( bypassed it) and the solenoids seemed to work both ways.
However the problem continues.
I hooked up the solenoid ,which worked. But it failed to work when everything was hooked up. I could hear the solenoids clicking but spooling in seemed to make a significantly weaker clicking sound.
I figured i would throw my ohm meter on it and check the resistance but i couldnt find it for about 20 minutes of looking and discovered i needed new batteries as i left it on last time i used it. .. Great!
So i think a bad solenoid was only part of the problem.
