I have a 1951 Mercury Sport Sedan.The solenoid is number 6916-A. It's not working. I have found some used ones that work (they work on 6 or 12 volt on the bench and have different numbers). My question is how can I determine which is the 6 volt and which is the 12 volt. I'll list the numbers maybe someone out there has an interchange book. #4AR10B-62 #119779 #1118168 #10AR10B-62 They came off different auto's, but I've been told about 11 car manufactures used they same solenoids.

The P/N for your overdrive solenoid is FAA-6916-A or 8M-6916. The 12 Volt solenoid is B6-6916. If you Google the other numbers, you should find out which of them is 6 volt or 12 volt. You should also be able to get a good indication of interchangeability. Tom

Thanks for your help. I went to fifthaveinternetgarage.com. They told me if the shaft is slow coming out when tested on 6 volt try it on 12 volt, if it snaps out, it will more than likly be 12 volt. When it snaps on 6 volt it would be 6volt. I also found with my research that most of the problems with these solenoids is caused by contaminates or a broken wire. A good cleaning will usally bring them back to life. Thanks' again Guys, Russ

Most OD solenoid problems are due to dirty or burned contact points inside the case of the unit. One allows the solenoid to pull, while the other set energizes a holding winding to keep it engaged with less current. If it doesn't pull, suspect the first set. If it engages, then disengages, the second set is likely responsible. The rating of the solenoid must match the car system voltage, in any case.
