No if the solenoid is bad the starter will still run, still creating some
type or sound, it just wont engage with the flywheel. The solenoid has
nothing to do with any electrical current what so ever at any given time
during engine operation. It is like a little slide for the starter gear to
rest on and move into position with the flywheel to start the vechile.
