    Does the key switch actually shut the engine off when turned to "off"? If so, using the stop lead terminals for accessory grounds can lead to melting the coil(s) by running 12volt circuits through their primary circuits.
    Like you said, not likely that you did this while changing the solenoid, but mentioning it "just in case".
