When you plug the vent valve in and unplug it can you hear it open and close?

No iam asking you to turn the ignition key to the run position and unplug and plug in the connector to the vent valve and listen if you can hear the vent valve open and close?

Alright let's recap with the key in the run position you have about 11 volts across the vent solenoid connector?I want you to check the wires seperate not together first key in the run position touch the black meter lead to a unpainted metal part of the car. Then red lead to the power wire to the vent solenoid connector what does it read?Next key in same position touch the black lead to a unpainted part of the car touch the red lead to the ground side of the vent solenoid connector. Make sure the meter is set to 200 ohms setting not 200k setting. Let me know what it reads.

So with the key in the run position you got a ground on the power side?Also the ground side shouldn't be a constant ground its controlled by the computer to operate the vent valve. So with the key in the run position and plugging the vent solenoid connector in and out can you hear the vent valve clicking?

So with the key in the run position on one of the wires to the vent solenoid connector you dont have battery voltage? Iam really trying to understand what your reading on the wires. The ground side shouldn't show a constant ground all the time. But what doesnt make sense is if you have battery voltage to one wire and a less then 2ohms to the ground wire with the key in the run position. Then why the vent valve doesnt click when you plug and unplug it in.
