Yes.
When the car cooled overnight, the previously hot, stuck solenoid started working again.
Park where you can get under and ‘whack’ the solenoid.

Fueling can be a problem.
Push-start the car.


When you get home, replace the starter/solenoid assembly with a Bosch Factory rebuilt unit.
Get the 1.5 hp version. Heavier but will crank anything.

Always replace unknown batteries on ‘general principle’.

Best,
Grady
