There are basically two types of solenoids, continuous duty and momentary duty. A momentary solenoid is built to operate for brief moments. A continuous duty solenoid is built to operate continually. If you use a momentary solenoid as a continuous solenoid it will heat up and eventually burn out.

Why would the starter solenoid overheat on my 1966 mustang V8 motor?
That solenoid is a momentary solenoid. If it is used constantly it will get hot.
What would cause a Saturn SW1 starter to not crank when engine is hot but start normally when cold?
I would check the starter solenoid before I investigated the starter - it's likely the cause. Have someone try starting the car hot while you measure the voltage between the starter side of the solenoid and negative - you should get battery voltage. If not, the problem is the solenoid (or somewhere before it, electrically).
What does a solenoid do on a coffee machine?
Control the hot water
Car starter does not work when engine is warm?
Solenoid is getting hot from heat transfer. Wire in a remote solenoid.
How do you repair your 93 Ford Escort wagon if you cannot start the engine with the key but it will start if you run a hot jumper wire to the starter solenoid?
i assume this escort has a fender-mounted solenoid, and that you are actually bypassing the solenoid with your jumper wire... replace the solenoid!AnswerI've had a similar problem, I could turn my key but it would not start. So we ran a hot lead to the solenoid from the battery, put a push button into the circuit and when I turned the key to the on position and pushed the button it starts. My original problem was the ignition switch was bad. Also my solenoid was on my starter not on the firewall. hope this might help Answereither bad switch or solenoid. less likely is bad wires
How do you put solenoid in a sentence?
I would like to buy a starter without a solenoid.
1967 GTO 400 ci with a hot start problem Installed a remote start solenoid - still have trouble starting when hot was told to replace solenoid at starter with a 1964 corvette solenoid Will this work?
If you are running a remote start solenoid, which is completely away from the engine heat, and still having problems I doubt that the Corvette solenoid will make much difference. One other thing to check is your initial timing. If your timing is advanced a little too far it can cause these same symptoms. Before changing out that solenoid again or spending more cash dial back your timing a few degrees. See if the hot start problem is still there. It's free and would only take a couple of minutes to check. If the problem is still there you might want to check or replace the starter itself.
What will happen to the brightness of blub connected in series with a solenoid with a source of dc?
THE brightness would decrease as solenoid would have some resistance.
Why would a 94 lesabre have no power to the starter solenoid?
The wire from the battery to solenoid is corroded & should be replaced.
Why doesn't my 1988 Honda transmission shift when hot is it the solenoid?
Transmission is not shifting when car is warmed up.
How do you replace a solenoid?
There are many solenoids in many vehicles. The year, make and model and which solenoid info would help.
Chevy s-10 1998 starter solenoid where is it located?
The starter solenoid is attached to the starter. Follow the positive battery cable from the battery, it will lead you to the starter solenoid. The starter would have to be removed to replace the starter solenoid.
