Re: Frustrating solenoid valves won't open

We have nothing connected to the output holes.
On the FESTO, we hear clicking when we power it, and we see a light come on.
We've tried flipping the polarity, and we've tried both sides of the double action solenoid.
On the CKD solenoid, we just hear clicking.
If anyone has any suggestions on anything we could try to get these to work, we would be very grateful. We've been banging our heads against the wall for 3 days trying to figure this out.
Thank you!

The compressor should be connected to port 1 on the FESTO.
