# 834894 Actuator Solenoid | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta actuator solenoid from the Starting System group, weighing 0.417 kg and listed for 27 applications across AQ, BB and MS series engines. It is the heavier of the two solenoids here - the 0.095 kg unit 833735 covers MD and AQD applications - so mass and fitment separate them clearly.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** AQ, BB, MS

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.417 kg
-   27 applications across AQ, BB and MS series engines
-   Smaller alternative solenoid 833735 weighs 0.095 kg
-   Starting System group

## 🔌 Function

Converts an electrical signal into a mechanical pull, moving the linkage or contact set it operates when energised.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Nothing happens, or only a click, when the switch is operated
-   Solenoid pulls in but drops out under load
-   Operation becoming unreliable as the unit heats up
-   Burnt smell or a discoloured body
-   Heavy corrosion or a loose main terminal

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Measure voltage at the solenoid under load first - a bad earth or a corroded battery lead mimics a failed solenoid
-   Check the linkage or starter it drives moves freely, since a jammed mechanism destroys solenoids
-   Disconnect the battery before working on starter circuit connections
