its ugly head again.....

Battery 11.4 volts (check)

lights come on, door buzzes when open (check)

I put a screwdrive across the 2 big terminals on the solenoid and the started 
whirls (check) 
I put a screwdriver acorss the battery terminal on the solenoide to the little 
switch (ignition I think) , nothing....(i pulled the wires off the switch to 
connect the screwdriver) 

Does this mean I have a bad solenoid? Anyone.... 

Can you buy just a solenoid ? 

1600 Stock DP engine. I replaced the Bosch starter 4 years ago...Don't recall 
if the solenoid comes with it.... 

Trying to change the oil set timing and head out Friday monring with the TCB 
gang .... 

What are hte symptoms of a bad headlight swtich? anyone know? 

I hope my ignition switch isn't bad.... oh brother

Thanks,
