Richard -
At the end of the day, a solenoid is a pretty simple piece of kit. There's
nothing really that can go wrong if it's just sitting around.
I'd cycle it a few times using some little electronic jumpers to check the
operation. If it works then spray a little WD 40 inside of it, wait for the
WD 40 to dry out, put it in a sealed bag and keep it in your boot. It
should last forever.
