So you have TWO problems. One is that it died while driving. The other is
that now it won't engage the starter solenoid.

It's odd to have both of those problems at the same time. Strange enough
that electrical system problems might be involved. Don't know how an '04's
ignition control works but I'd start to wonder about the problem not
necessarily being in just the starter.

What is turning the alternator? How would it be turning if the
engine is not spinning? Do you mean the starter is spinning
but the engine is not being turned over?
