That's a pretty big screen to get clogged and prevent enough oil pressure 
developing.  Sometimes you have to change that screen anyway as it is also 
the sump gasket and can delaminate on removal.  When doing two ODs I bought 
one, and was lucky enough to need it for one but not the other.  There are 
also the cylindrical screens and filters on the valve assembly, as well as 
the valving and ports themselves.  But all that comes after confirming it 
isn't electrical.

Just been speaking to a chap who has had the opposite problem, it kept 
engaging when it shouldn't.  The problem was the relief valve clogged, which 
as well as engaging OD everytime the input shaft turned also developed 
nearly double the required pressure and bent the bolts and end plate.
