It sounds as if wiring intact to governor. Any chance the ground through governor was disrupted. It's provided by a small bar from a rivet on bakelite through a screw into governor body and then to transmission. Also, the indicator light completes it's path through the solenoid. Any chance of wires switched there when reinstalling or, since you said "felt solenoid vibrate" the solenoid ball end is not actually in the pocket so can't engage.
