Oops... The good news is that a new solenoid is available at your local auto parts store so you don't need to replace the whole starter. Or, you can just replace the solenoid cap from a junk starter.

You are far from the first person to do that...

You can also buy just a repair kit for the solenoid.

And sometimes things just break at the same time I happen to be working on them.
