Hi
First post on here, so hello all. Have tried the search facility before posting but have not found an answer. If the question has been answered elsewhere, I'd be most grateful for a link.
I think that the offending article is called a solenoid controller. It is marked with the manufacturer's name TOKIMEC (Japanese) C12 5W followed by a serial number. It is part of an oleopneumatic system on a mini digger. There are two circuits, one of which is controlled by this object.
A switch in the cab area is used to select one of two functions by opening or closing a 12 volt circuit that enters the black box via a tightly sealed rubber top. The earth wire enters a few mm away.
The wire has become disconnected where it enters the rubber. Marked on photo with red arrow.
How is it possible to reconnect this wire? I have tried gently prising the rubber out, but it didn't seem too keen, so I didn't force it. The break is right on the surface, so no scope for soldering.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have Googled for a diagram, preferably in cross section and to scale, but haven't found anything. Don't want to dig down into the rubber and make things worse.....
