What should I be checking for? Solenoid does not go off on test mode but gets electrical continuity.
Is under the PF supposed to look like this? Am I missing a part of the switch that extends to nowhere?

If it has power, but won't fire, ground the tab on the associated transistor. If it fires, replace transistor. If not, check continuity from coil to transistor. If theats good, it's probably the chip on the sdb..

Also check to see if the gate is in the correct position so it opens up in the correct direction.

Download manual here for reference:

This will help you identify which transistor on the driver board controls this coil.
