I agree with Billy-O: poor connection, high resistance, loose wire, what ever you want to call it, it shows up when you try to flow current through to your solenoid. Full voltage unloaded circuit, low voltage loaded is the classic symptom.

It may take some detective work to locate. It might be a switch, a connector, even in a wire itself.

I agree with the temporary wire to the solenoid. If that works, it is proved beyond doubt.
