Yes that's part of it, its the coil pack for the solenoid valve

How do you determine why the no stress is not working? Is there a process?

Put power on to it and shove a nail or screwdriver up the middle, if it working you should feel a magnetic pull. If that piece is working then the activator pin in the valve might be stuck, that should also screw out.

There could be any number of causes, corroded terminals, broken wire, blown fuse, speed controller problems, busted electronics, the list goes on.

 

Its usually a matter of eliminating each issue till it works again. A decent auto electrician should be able to fault find from cold in under an hour.

 

Get a test lamp and start with the live into the system and work through from there.

Just a little caution required with a solenoid coil, if they are powered up without the iron lump inside that does the actuating, they can consume too much power and burn out. Use a circuit tester instead, if it is disassembled.
