 +Illustration from a solid state "relay" product

 +Power is going in at 'plus' and leaving at 'minus', at the "out" terminals of the Solid State Relay.
 +
 +
 +And here is a simplified schematic of the internals of a DC-DC SSR
 +
 +
 +{{:ssr:internal-dc-dc-ssr.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +
 +Notice the diode inside the MOSFET symbol?  It goes from - to + 
 +
 +The diode is a natural effect of the way a MOSFET is made, and not something that is put there as an extra ting.
 +
 +
 +So I would say, try again, but this time with power going from + to - on the SSR'

 +
 +**After thoughts:** 
 +
 +Since we are trying to make +24V available to the "-" out of the SSR, then the SSR must internally have a High-Side driver chip, that triggers the MOSFET Gate, as Gate voltage must be some 10V-15 higher than the "-" out side of the mosfet (the Vgs voltage).

 +See also this image of a High-Side driver:

 +
 +
 +Most likely the SSR will have an internal High-Side driver chip included in its belly.
