Front airbags problem ?

[palehorse89]

There is a air bag level control valve on each front bag and a common dump valve for both bags. I would have to think the dump valve is not closing for both sides not to air up?

That makes sense

Buly,
Just thinking out loud... Does your coach have the Hadley Air System? If you do, you might try a system reset before anything else... If not, pretend I didn't post...

Nobody has asked, but are you hitting the auto store button on the HWH control panel before or after the air compressor has popped off?

I hit auto store button before starting the engine. My jacks are hydraulic.

Since you are on this quite aggressively, might I suggest you do a complete cycle of your jacks. That is auto level extend the jacks, start the engine, let the air compressor pop off, check the height of the coach from the tires to fender well or look at the air bags to ascertain their status, then do an auto store while engine running. BTW, take notice of the status lights on the HWH panel at each step and the air pressure gauge reading and let us know.

Thanks Wayne. I will try it tomorrow.

Wayne, you get the trophy.
This morning, armed with a print out of your instructions, I was able to revive my air bags, just on time for tomorrow's trip to Independence RV Orlando.
Thanks again to Wayne and all the people trying to help. Great group.

Good to hear you are back in business and the real trophy goes out to you for sticking with all the troubleshooting and fixing your own problem.

Just wondering, is the method Wayne suggested to try the proper method when getting ready to leave? or is there some thing still wrong? Should you not be able to take the Coach off it jack's then start and it should air up properly?

I’m sure, that morning it was cold and rainy on departure, so I was in the hurry to go. Must’ve interrupted the sequence of the jacks retraction.
Had no idea jacks and airbags would be interconnected?
I’m still a rookie in this

Yes, you can come down off jacks and then air up but the HWH panel needs the ignition switch on to operate. I found out with my previous coach that when you interrupt the HWH cycle by starting the coach in mid cycle, it makes the HWH computer system lose its mind and "runs home to mama". In your scenario, you probably would have to push the auto store button again to get the dump valves to recycle. I had some issues with the HWH system on previous coach and I worked with HWH extensively to get it corrected. The system is fairly simple in components but complicated in operation.
