Too much false information in this thread!
Yes, you can control the M+ and M- completely independently of each other! Like I said in my previous post, it's best not to think of the pins as FWD and REV, just 2 different data pins that control 2 different relays (conveniently packaged on the same spike).
The only problem I can see is if you blow a fuse (either on the spike or on the fuse panel) then you lose control of 2 solenoids. The only way that would happen with a solenoid is if you accidentally shorted the wires together though.
Once again, I recommend reading the manual. They tell you exactly how to do this in there.
