[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 115888, member: 82"] Got your email with the picture. Looks like the solenoid is still there, the big connector with red, white black wires. If you remove this, you will see a plunger that the coil pulls up, when up, the wedge does not stop the wheels from moveing, when down, it locks them up. Some times people install a hose clamp around the rod to stop it going down and locking the wheels. If you use a multi meter or test light on the solenoid wires, between black and white and black and red, when you turn the brake switch on, you should get a momentary power to one set, and the other shoudl stay on. One is pull, the other is hold. The pull coil is high power and can't stay running or it will burn the coil out. These coils do go bad over time and with age, it's possible it failed and the previous owner just disabled it. It gives you somewhere to start. [/QUOTE]
