Here's a list of a few things that could be the problem...

Do you have a good battery in it? Even if the battery is new it could still be bad. Check it with a tester

If that's not the problem... the next thing I would suspect is the trigger switch itself. get an ohmmeter and check the continuity of the switch. It should be open (not allowing any electrical flow) when released and closed (allowing electrical flow) when pushed.

If the switch is not the problem then the next thing I would test would be the mac valve. hook one of the wires up to a nine volt and then touch the other wire to the other side of the nine volt battery... you should hear the mac valve click when the silenoid activates. If it doesn't click then this could be the problem.

If everything is working fine, then I would assume that the circuit board is fried...

I do not own a sandridge autococker, but I do have a rainmaker, and I have assumed that the mac valve works in the same manner, which I am almost positive it does.

Hope I helped ya out. :D
