Someone else could explain that better.

I disconnected the solenoid connections from their respective boards (one on the transport control board and one on the power board). I connected it to an 18V source and it activated. So now I know the solenoid is good.

I'm hoping someone can look at the schematic I attached in a previous post and help me determine where on the transport board to check. I figure I see 19V on it when in circuit because of the connection to the power board and something in the circuit must give it ground to activate, so somewhere in the schematic it just show what is doing that. The only other thing I can think of is there is a small plug on the back for a wired pause button. Maybe that jack is bad and it thinks I'm always in pause.
