Try putting a couple of diodes in series with the 12 volts to the solenoid, each will drop .6Vdc and almost no heat. 2 or 3 diodes in series would drop 1.2 or 1.8 Vdc and may or may not be enough to help with the solenoid heating.
Very true and also an excellent idea. Just be sure the current rating of the diode is sufficient for the solenoid coil.
