Re: Solenoid is teh fail
Are you firing it with air pressure? Make sure it's about 20 PSI or more.

Can you switch it manually? Those little blue buttons do that.

I trust that the plumbing is correct, and the exhaust hole doesn't have a plug in it. One guaranteed way to eliminate this possibility is to remove ALL the lines/connectors/plugs except the air input, then try it.

It is possible you got a bad one, but they are awfully reliable and rarely fail like that.

Got a photo of the plumbing and a drawing of the wiring we can check? (The light coming on is a good sign, wiring is likely correct)
