A solenoid switch, is another name for a relay. It takes a relatively small current in a solenoid, to pull big, heavy duty, switch contacts together remotely. It has many uses.
The most popular to be named as such, is for a car starter system.
The old type of solenoid used to be mounted inside the fenders by the rear of the engine.
Follow the big thick cables from the battery to the engine. One cable will be attached to the engine block or fender. The other will lead to the solenoid.
More modern systems incorporate the solenoid and switch, on top of the starter motor itself. The pulling action of the solenoid, engages the starter gear pinion, as well as making the heavy switch contacts.

Does the 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue have a starter solenoid?
Every car with an electric starter has a starter solenoid. That is how cars work. When you start the car, only a trickle of electricity goes through the wire. That trickle of electricity goes to the solenoid. That trickle of electricity tells a magnet, "Get busy." The magnet closes a switch. The switch completes a circuit between the battery and the starter. Then the starter engages and your engine starts. That switch is your solenoid. If you find your starter, you can trace the wire back to the switch. You will see where another wire from that point attaches to the battery. Now you know the location of your solenoid.
