I am so close to finishing my first pneumatic prop!

I started by making a 4 banger prop controller. All sequences load, the relays click, sound works, awesome!
I ordered my monster in a box "guts" and have them installed in my crate.

The problem is when the sequence hits the solenoid it stops. I put a diode in line, reading this might help but it didn't.

Suggestions, comments, help please.

THANKS!

The snubber diode doesn't go "in line". It needs to be soldered across the solenoid connections. Use a 4000 series diode, the band on the diode goes toward the positive solenoid connection.

I was hoping I was missing something simple. I temporarily wired it up and it worked perfectly.
I was so frustrated, lol.

THANKS!
