The Ugly Cobalt Premium video

The generic drawing is from FB where Paul asked a question on his ScannerDanner FB page. For those who're not following him there, you should
The question was this:

"A test question for you guys. Or maybe more of a challenge. I want to hear your thoughts on this first question before I post a follow up question. Then finally the answer. (this has to do with a case study I just finished filming)

A ground side switched solenoid that is not being energized should read 12v on both the feed and control side of the circuit.
Voltage on both sides of the connector (feed and control), reads 2.9 volts. (Solenoid plugged in, backprobing)
Why is the voltage so low? What are our options? (there is not one answer here, I'm looking for a list of possibilities)"

To be honest I was pretty confused till Tommy Wolfe from Positive Lead Diagnostics came up with the right answer. I mean 2.9 volts ??? First thought is voltage drop. But it's not!

???? I didn't get the notification there was a new premium video!
Almost time for a Facebook page I guess....

I think there's a problem with the YouTube notifications Noah. Didn't get one either

I think that diagram kind of gives it away, right?


For the record, I actually really like Burnt Orange Metallic :whistle:

Eric O was complaining about Yotube notification issues last week istr it was my Google+ account that alerted me.
Youtube seems to be going through upgrades(!) I had sound problems with it on my Win10 notebook last week.

Yes but Paul posted it after Tommy gave the right answer.
I'm fine with the color but that's about it :lol:

You're right forgot about that. He made a video about it if I remember correctly. I'll have to check my Google+ account as well cause there are no notifications either.
