Re: Automation Direct solenoid question

FYI, it looks like the valves cone with two connectors already. You shouldn't need to buy the cables you linked unless you don't want to have to wire up the solenoids yourself, or you want indicators for when the solenoid is energized.

I haven't purchased these before, but it looks to me like a similar style connector to what is on some old festo solenoids we have in our shop. A screw at the back of the housing attaches the connector to the valve, remove that and you should be able yo pull off the back shell of the connector. Inside there are a number of screw terminals which you could connect a small gauge wire to (needs to fit in the PCM connectors). Should be pretty straight forward.
The PDF you linked includes the wiring schematic for all the connectors. I think the stock connector uses Figure 9.
