No activity on solenoid breakout

We are trying to switch outputs on the solenoid breakout, but get nothing out. We are providing 24V in (verified via meter on the breakout, and the LED is on). The module is in slot 7 (we tried it in slot 8 - with appropriate changes to the code - with no difference in results). The code initializes the solenoid outputs so that outputs 7 and 8 should always be on, however, there is no voltage at the pins, and the LEDs on the module don't come on. All of this is tested without any connections to the outputs (ensuring we are not shorting any outputs). My only thought is that we have a bad NI 9472 module. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with modules going bad?
