Replacing it with a 10K resistor (only needs to be low power hence the high value) does the job on the MY99 Impreza. The voltmeter resistance of the solenoid was about 30 ohms, but a resistor that low would need to be chunky and gets hot. Note that the solenoid is usually high side drive and is activated by pulling low and has a constant 12V on the other line.

As way of a mild apology
The three way solenoids on early MYs are approx 50 Ohms. Although, I've not tried it myself I'd like to concur with John's *sensible* answer - in theory it should work the same.
Best of luck m8.
