2012 RXPX260 compression check blowing solenoid.

[tjc702]

I did a compression check 2 times and each time it blew the solenoid. What do you think is causing this to happen?

The starter solenoid? Never heard of that.

Yes. I found it strange also. It happened twice.

Blown or melted solenoid usually indicates high load from the starter or low voltage from the battery causing amperage to exceed the rating. Loose connections or loose/corroded ground wire can do the same thing, if connections are good you might want to have your starter checked.
