Hello Everyone,
Summer is approaching and I am trying to get a few of the issues sorted out on the coach. Most of the big stuff I am going to pay the experts to do but there are a few things I need to get sorted out so I can get the coach to the shops I want to use. The first one is to get the compressor for the airbags working again. I am a relative newbie with working on these coaches so I hope the experts on the forum can help me out.

Here is the situation:
When I bought the coach, the system was working fine. The bags were "older" but serviceable. I picked the coach up and drove it across the country in the middle of summer with no issues. There may have been a very little air leakage but nothing noticeable and the raise/lower switches worked fine. Shortly after I got the coach home, the compressor would go into "Raise" mode even though the switches were on "Lower". I would have to shut off the engine and turn on a few times before it would self-correct. Now the switches do not work and the compressor will not turn on at all. I have just lived with the annoyance for about a year since I have not done much more than day trips. I just top off the bags when I leave the house and I carry a separate little compressor just in case. Over time then the system is leaking down quite a bit quicker and I am less comfortable taking her out even for short trips. I have removed the switch panel and inspected the connections. They look good but I am going to pull apart and hit them with a wire brush to be sure. I looked for an inline fuse near the compressor but I could not find one.

I was thinking I would just pull the compressor out and see if I could test it on the table. Any other ideas?

Thanks In Advance,
--Bryan
