Re: Solenoid Not Working

Are you supplying proper voltage to the solenoid?

Our team had similar symptoms; Solenoid lights, no action.

The Festo solenoids/valves we got from FIRSTchoice need 24V. The PCM jumper is set to a default of 12 V. We moved the jumper to 24 V, solenoid worked.

PCM jumper is on top center of PCM.

FIRST is not rocket science. But it is like drinking from a fire hose.
