Im sure that’s exactly what happened. It could have fried the starter motor too. Maybe the solenoid protected it.Perhaps the issue is that with the engine not turning over, any time spent with the key in the start position is time with a very very high amp draw and no movement, so after a few tries it burns the solenoid.
Just a theory, but a good reminder for me, if engine does not turn over, release the key and research before trying again. If the engine is locked up and not turning, it seems the starter solenoid can burn up.
I just burned up a big 220v motor on a lift I have and it happened remarkably fast. High amps and no movement is really bad.
