Not really a rant. Too many people try to bypass safety features that were put there for a reason. Just remember, no manufacturer puts a "feature" on a machine unless there is a reason. It costs too much to engineer, test, and implement changes. Speaking as a test engineer, who has to test and report on all these changes.

my money is on a bad ground for the solonoid. Be sure that you have a good ground from the solonoid body to the frame or it will not work, you will get nothing at all.
