Hate to dig up an old thread..... Please dont flame me....
Does it matter which wire on the solenoid goes to what? Im having the same issue described on this thread, I replaced my valve everything stock with an Orbit and the new valve doesn't open. I cant figure it out...
Thanks!

No, it just creates a magnet to pull the solenoid plunger. (Technically, the magnet polarity would flip with the electrical current direction but that doesn't matter when attracting ferrous metal)

Is the pump running? It takes a bit of water pressure to make the valve work. Can you make the valve work manually? Do you hear the solenoid click? You can test the solenoid by just applying 12V directly. If you have a DMM, verify that you are getting 12V at the solenoid.2007 Mobius LSV

Confirm you have 12 VDC to the solenoid.
Swap solenoids with 1 of the valves that is working.
If you installed a new Orbit valve complete with the solenoid, check the voltage rating on the new solenoid.2005 Mobius LSV
