How Many Ohms Should A Solenoid Have. Yes with the solenoid disconnected you should have continuity between the small COIL terminals. I have a solenoid that makes a clicking sound.

The other lead should just be touched to the metal housing of. Many hydraulic solenoid valves have multiple different channels when de-energized or energized and the flow resistance of these channels varies. It is listed as a 2W 12V solenoid.
For instance a 120v Schrader Bellows valve solenoid that I work with is around 120 ohms.
Thus if the coil of the solenoid has a resistance of 32ohms I would add a resistor of 16 to 32ohms you will have to try to limit the current. We have hard water and so we find that we have to replace them about every 5 years. Additionally our 24v cartridge-style proportional valves are 26 ohms. Every manufactures valves will have a slightly different reading.
