need help - EBPV Wont engage

Hello guys. I was hoping someone could help me out.
I have a 97 ford f350 4door dually / e4od.

I was trying to hook a switch up for the ebpv today but I could not get it to work.
I tried hooking it to a switch - I also tried running the wire straight to the battery. I tested with the truck running.

The bar that runs to the valve (under the turbo) never moved. I can hear a single click sound when I apply power but nothing happens.

Can someone help me out- tell me what maybe going on and things to check.

What controls the movement to the (Arm) to the butterfly under the turbo.

I thought it was this- Exhaust Back Pressure Regulator. I hope not its 500$.

Please someone help.

The actuator arm is moved by oil pressure in the turbo pedestal. What wires are you putting power to? Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about try to make it work. Most of us completely delete the EBPV anyway

The solenoid in the pedestal is probably bad.

Did you have the truck running?

Yes I did have to running. You can hear a slight click like something is trying to happen but thats it. What does it take to repair/replace the solenoid.

THanks.

Because im not looking at a diagram..when the key is on does one wire have 5v? Or 12v?
I would guess one to have a constant supply and the pcm will ground the other to actuate the ebpv. how are you wiring it?
I sure havent heard of anyone using one with any success for any amount of time.
i hope you have a tight set if up pipes.I would think this will destroy all but the best sealed set.
