I was ready to tear into my powerlevel controls because one side would not raise. Newly discovered after getting a functional/automatic air compressor and then troubleshooting the next round...

Pulling it apart, discovered how it works (ramp pushes one of the three valves) and that a PO or mechanic lost a spring washer that sits between the knob itself and the retaining bolt, and it simply wasn't pushing hard enough on valve. Never would have figured this out if both springs had been lost. Anyone have an unused spring they will drop in the mail to me (Please PM), or know where to find a replacement? Ace Hardware, HD, Lowes, etc trips left me thinking this is not generic.

Thanks,
Tyler
