Fadal VMC15XT oil pump not cycling

[ianagos]

So the oil pump is not cycling on the machine the gauge won’t build pressure. I took it a little apart and the seal for the piston looked good but it still won’t cycle.
I’m pressing on the solenoid to cycle it but getting nothing. Can anybody help me with what I need to do to diagnose the issue. It almost seems like the air is not ever getting to the piston to pump it.

Pictures, instructions, or anything will be greatly appreciated.

Or while the machine is on Pull relay K19 in the back cabinet 1100-2 board plug back in and you should hear the valve activate

Well after messing with it a whole lot and disassembling it it started working. The solenoid was acting weird but after some cleaning it has started to work.

I also found out that leaving the machine at the y axis limit will overheat the motor.
