I have an interesting issue. I have been wiring my new panel for a couple of months now. I'm in the final phase and have been programming it etc. Yesterday I went to turn off the master and the contactor (solenoid) stayed engaged. At first I though my master switch (a cessna rocker type) went bad. I replaced it with a spare and still had the same problem. So I went to the rear of the aircraft and disconnected the ground (from the master) going to the single pole on the contactor and it stayed engaged. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to dis-engage.
On the bench, the contactor seems to work correctly. I've never seen one fail like this (if it is even failing).
ideas??
