Question Methanol solenoid problem

My solenoid is not allowing any fluid to pass to the nozzle. I was trying to prime the pump but it would not get passed the solenoid. I unplugged the hose from it and the meth flowed fine. It was working fine before so I know the blue and orange wires aren't crossed. I checked to see if the fuse was blown and its not. Even tried to just wire the solenoid without the fuse and nothing. Someone else stated that they disconnected the jb4 and reconnected it and it worked fine for them, not here. Looked over all the wiring and its fine. I just have no idea what to do. Please suggest something else to try because Im out of options

Thanks

David

you may have it backwards and need to turn it around.

Got it! I contacted BMS and turns out the green wire in the fsb was not grounded so I just grounded it on the chassis . Thanks to Jon for being a great help.

Always the simple stuff. I told you they would be better at diagnosing it
