Presoak distribution issue..

In our 3 self serve bays, the presoak is distributed to the bays via a booster pump, 1 solenoid valve for each bay, and 3/8” poly line to each bay. For some I get presoak coming out of the middle bay anytime I turn on the left or right bay. I’ve swapped out the middle bay dema valve thinking it may have been stuck open, but the issue persists.

I know it has to be a simple fix, but I’m stumped. Can anyone offer me any other troubleshooting options? I feel like an idiot not being able to correct this issue. Carwashes can be puzzling.
 
I'd test to see if there was power at the middle bay's solenoid valve when the left or right bay is turned on.
If there is a dedicated line to each bay, and each bay has it's own solenoid valve, then either the solenoid valve is bad or its getting power somehow.
 
Did you install the new valve in the correct direction? Like Chris said start one of the other valves and check for stray voltage
