I installed a new solenoid car was running good, after about 7 minutes the solenoid took a shit cussing my starter to stay on while I drove for about 30 seconds before I could pull over. Pulled over disconnected to signal wire on the little stud and proceeded to go back to autozone to warranty the solenoid. Car started to over heat after, and saw some smoke too, which it has never done, and now the starter does not engage the flywheel so no start and while loading it on the trailer it was way low on power and was stumbling through the rpms.

You'd have a better chance if you bought a Lottery ticket. They're not responsible for collateral damage caused by replacement parts that they sell. If, on the other hand, you have more money than time, get yourself a lawyer and try your luck there. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I thought my chances were slim to none to begin with. I guess I'll just diagnose and fix this fuckin thing. Really bad timing though that's the worst part

Still does not explain how the solenoid has anything to do with your car overheating
