Sounds like the solenoid contacts are sticking (closed circuit) in my opinion. Its unlikely to be the motor itself.

Another possibility is a short on the low current side of the solenoid between the solenoid and the switch on the bars, less likely but still possible.

Take the solenoid out, give it a good few sharp taps on a table and hook it up again. That should free the contacts. If that resolves the issue, you'll know where the problem lies.

However I would fit a new one asap.
