The coil is made of solid wire. The stranded wire that connects to the
car's wire harness is soldered to the solid wire. The other end of the
solid wire is soldered to a ground connector. So what you need to do is
find out where the wire is broken. Take it apart and see. It's just a
bunch of wire wound around a spindle, not rocket science. Mine was
broken where the stranded wire was soldered to the solid wire.
