If it is a bad solenoid you might be able to get around the problem by
giving it a couple of whacks with a hammer. A rubber mallet should be
fine, but if that fails try the ball peen hammer. If that allows the
car to start, it should be good for at least a couple of more starts.
This is a good fix to get that last start before you head home, or
park on a hill :-)
