I have read that a simple 9volt like used in a smoke alarm will work also.
If the solenoid works you should hear it click when powered.

Hope this helps

That’s exactly what I needed to know thank you kind sir! You are correct that is for bank 1. I’ll try it with a 9v tomorrow. You wouldn’t happen to know bank 2 wiring would you? Don’t have the color on me at the moment.

Thanks again.
