Check for a broken orange or black wire going to the Solenoid Coil

Remove the Solenoid Coil and check for a short in the Solenoid Coil

Remove the connection box from the Solenoid Coil and check that the connectors are in place and making good contact with the terminals on the Solenoid Coil.

Check that the Plunger Assembly is clean and not sticking

Check that the Plunger Housing is not deformed causing the plunger to stick
