Re: problems with FAV solenoid - no work, but getting very hot! ::fixed::
 

I am very glad the system is now working and reduced your lap time. I would also like to thank you for being very patient in staying with me tracking down the problem.

Able to solder, tracking down transistor is a real asset.

I still would like to know what actually caused the blown transistor. The most obvious reason is a intermittent short circuit along the FAV harness. It might even be the the little whisker of wire strand crossing over inside the RJ connector.
