Run a GROUND from the Frame of solenoid also.........

Sounds like the area where the solenoid is mounted is not Grounded

Trunks, like Hoods & Doors can have GROUND issues. The Hinge can cause the problem. I always put a GROUND Strap to any moving Door if I don't have a GROUND wire ran to the Accessory I have installed.

Sometimes you will get a GROUND when the Trunk, Door, Hood is open, but when it is closed the Hinge will actually isolate it. Caused from Dirt, Oil, wear, etc.
