ANDY,

It probably failed closed because the solenoid was sitting and it gave the oxidation time to join to the base metal.. If the solenoid managed to open its just as likely it mike not now close

Joe, the solenoid failded closed during a dive in Komodo and it seemed to be working fine until then. As I reached up to touch the belly of a 10ft Manta, I heard it cycle open several times, slower and slower each time, until it stopped and all I could hear was a very faint click...
