Get a multi that reads frequency & run again Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88065-waistgate-solenoid-buzzing/#findComment-1472006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a multi that reads frequency & run againTechnically hertz is just an on/off cycling of volts....But yes, you'll need a multimeter to see if the computer is 'driving' the actuator correctly.
