look for the red wire that goes to the selenoid its really thin... just pinch it a little bit, mine did the same thing the wire was really frayed, after i pinched it i have yet to have any more problems, did it like 3 months ago

I had to go back to Auto Zone twice because of bad soleniods. Sometimes parts are just bad.

What was the reason for replacing the solenoid? Are you just throwing parts at it?

I would seriously invest $5 in a cheap test light or digital multimeter before troubleshooting any electrical issues.
