Probably a 100% chance it is a Fleetwood built on a Freightliner XC chassis

Try to find the leveling sys. manifold there will be six air solenoids attached 2 are for raise mode 2 are for travel mode and 2 are for dump mode. you probably have a bad solenoid. Should be mounted close to your air tanks.

If possible, switch airlines and see if the bag will fill. If it won't then you have a bad airbag, if it does then, like rodder said, you have a bad solenoid. Let us know what you find out.

Call 1-800-FTL-HELP with the last six of your VIN and they can tell you all sorts of things to check, how to check and where to check. They are available 24/7.

I'm camping in the Gaffney service centers parking lot after attending Camp Freightliner this past week. I highly recommend attending and while there getting the correct maintenance services performed on you mh.

One more time. Call Freightliner at 1-800-FTL-HELP. Have the last six digits of your VIN. They can probably e mail you the schematics. They answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, fifty two weeks a year.

This is the best professional help I can offer to you. Remember, they built it and know it. Good luck.
