air bags

[JBroadaway]

A few months ago I noticed my rear air bags were not deflating when I pressed the dump button on the "jacks" console. Now the front air bags do not deflate either. I've raised and lowered the jacks several time to make sure I wasn't out of cycle but the same thing happens; the air bags, front and rear, will not deflate. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I suggest you call the 1-800-FTL-HELP line and talk to the experts. Those guys are great and could probably help you narrow it down.

If you wanted to do some troubleshooting yourself, you could locate the solenoid valves that vent the air pressure when power is sent to them? On mine, that power comes directly from the console with the dump button on it. If they're getting power when that button is pushed, the valve is bad or plugged. I chose to see which and fixed the one I had that was messing up, but some suggest to just replace them.

Broadaway what kind of jacks do you have? Do you have a separate dump switch or is the dumping built into the jack system?

I have the HWH leveling system; standard on Itasca. The dump switch is located within the HWH panel for leveling.

This would be where I would start if you decide to troubleshoot it yourself.
