Start with the assumption that it is dead.
Pull a replacement valve and hook it up to the same way. If the replacement valve functions, the original valve is dead. If the replacement valve doesn't function, your wiring might be bad OR the replacement might be dead as well.
We had this situation arise earlier at the competition- the piston-fired arm wouldn't extend. I had the students go thru this sort of test- and the replacement work. Therefore replace and diagnose later.
Hope you found a solution before shipping!
