[wilson556]

no, no lights come on until a button is pushed

Do you have enough pressure? Solenoids need about 30-40 psi to actuate.

[Alan Anderson]

You say you have a 24v solenoid. From where are you providing power to the Solenoid Breakout?

[wilson556]

yes we do have enough pressure we are using about 60psi

and the solenoid breakout is being powered 20 amp breaker spot on the power distribution board. is this where we need to have it or do we need it to be pluged in somewhere else?

[xXhunter47Xx]

The 20 amp breaker spot is 12v.
