Either way, somehow there is 12V going to the + side of your coil when you shut off the key....

If it's truely the regualtor replace it until it's fixed, but a quick fix would be a diode in the coil + wire...
so it looks like your thinking the selonoid could be the problem ,and not the regulator ?
