The solenoid doesn't know whether it is being moved by a cable or a finger, move it with your finger and expect identical results if a cable is used.

Just remove the solenoid and put some good tape over the hole, or make a quick plate to cover the hole.

The solenoid movement is not accessible outside the engine.

In view of the fact he already replaced solenoid once, Ferguson knows how to gain access.
You can't get to the solenoid rod to move it with your finger when the solenoid is attached to the engine.
