I have seen this also. I took the Festo wiring connector off and tested each pin on the valve with a + and - wire straight froma battery. You need to have air connected and greater than 30 psi. When I found the combination that caused the valve to operate, I rewired the connector to match. Sorry, I did not check to see if it matched the official wiring diagram.
