I don't know if you're saying you changed the key system to a starter system or the system wouldn't start but just clicks.
If its the latter, you may want to check for coolant in your cylinders by removing your spark plugs and spinning the flywheel. If any coolant comes out of the cylinders, then you don't have a starter system problem. The plenum on your Buick, (the plastic dome above the intake manifold/ the black rounded dome on top of the engine) may have wore a hole in itself due to friction and has pumped coolant into your intake manifold until it spills into your cylinders and makes them too full of coolant to spin through with the starter.
Again, this may be completely not the issue if you know for certain you haven't lost any coolant recently or know its a wiring problem. But this thing had me puzzled for two weeks until I took the plenum off so I figured I'd throw it out there.
Any of the following.... Bad battery, bad starter, bad ignition switch, bad neutral safety switch
what kind of solenoid a shift or pressure control??
When a starter is getting weak and starting to 'go out' you can often tap on it anywhere on the metal housing to get it to work. Eventually, it will fail so look for a new one.
read up...you may have to unbolt the mount to access the starter... ...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available for FREE to make copies of...read up and repair like a PRO! Dave :)

I believe yours has a starter mounted solenoid and not a relay.
You didn't mention the year of the Buick but, look in the glove compartment for the oil life reset switch.

The solenoid switch on a 1996 Buick Park Avenue Ultra is typically located on the starter motor, which is situated near the bottom of the engine, close to the transmission. To access it, you may need to lift the vehicle and remove any protective covers or components that obstruct the starter. The solenoid itself is mounted directly on the starter and is responsible for engaging the starter motor when the ignition is turned on.

How do you uninstall a starter for a 1997 Buick Park Avenue
On a 1998 Buick Regal LS, the starter relay switch is typically located in the under-hood fuse box. You can find the fuse box on the driver's side, near the front of the engine compartment. The relay itself is usually labeled, and you may need to consult the owner's manual for the exact location and identification of the starter relay within the fuse box.
The solution is easy. There is a little button that you press on the body of the switch that releases the 'shaft and knob'. A little jiggling is required sometimes.
