no power steering

[windo67]

I am no mechanic but I need help figuring out why I have no power steering on my 89 turbo. Replaced the rack , the power steering hoses and the pump.I am thinking that its the solenoid valve assembly that plugs into the rack. Any help would be appreciated. :

Is there a question somewhere in there?

Its a sort of question. I threw out what I have done, what I think it might be, I was hoping someone else had been down this road and could tell whick fork to take

The TRSM has a section on testing/trouble shooting the solenoid, good idea to verify it's actually bad before replacing it.
