The solenoid on top of the control valve is getting hot and the car is not running, just with the key on. Is this normal?

Yes, these solenoids are powered closed, so if you have the controls inside the car set to cool, then the solenoid should be powered and will get hot.

Thanks for the quick reply. The AC controls were off. Just the key on. I'll watch the new one that is not installed and see how it works with the climate control turned on.
