Not all solenoid relays used in aircraft are interchangable. For
example, the one that is used as the master in my Cessna is rated for
continuous duty, and its coil pulls about an Amp. The starter solenoid,
however, is rated only for intermittent duty, and has a much
higher coil current (about 3A),

That was my thought as well -- it may be the wrong contactor.
Or, it could be bad connections at the, or maybe inside, the
contactor. Pull off the output connection, turn on the contactor
for 10 min.... can you touch it?
