No, A solenoid is basically a switch that uses a low voltage signal wire (5v) to make a higher voltage cable connection (12v) to operate an electric motor which uses magnets to transform electricity in to twisting force. IE turning the ignition key moves the ign. sw. sending a signal to the starter sol. that puts full power to the starter motor which engages the flywheel, rotating the engine to begin the running process.
