With the two terminals, if the solenoid were hooked up wrong, as long as solenoid relaxed, nothing would happen as a set of contacts would be open. If solenoid stuck in out position, and contacts closed then fuse would blow.

At this point if you haven't done it already, I think it would be a good idea to remove solenoid and energize so you can watch to make sure stem is moving out the full amount and staying out. If it is, then I think you are looking at mechanical inside the unit--either something is not allowing the pawl to engage the sun gear when solenoid engages or something else is amiss.
