Festo 2012 Double Solenoid

So, our team is re-prepping our old robot, just trying to get ready for this season... After tinkering around for a little bit, we can't seem to get our solenoid to work. The LEDs signaling which side the air should be coming out of are working, and switch when we hit the button on our controller that used to switch them. However it simply keeps putting pressure into one of the valves. Also, the manual override features works well and is the only way to make the solenoid work. What's up with this?!
