Frank,

Check the voltage at the solenoids. When it is 5V or 12V, you will have to attenuate it to 3.3V before connecting it to a pico IO pin.

P.S. If you look at the wiring it feels like the solenoids are in a matrix (3 rows, 4 columns) since the wire does not get thicker between solenoids 2,3,4 in a string. Maybe visual illusion. Maybe not.
