Hi,
I've got leaks! My port side airbag/fittings leak and even if I turn them off using the local shutoff, the system still leaks. I'm trying to test the controls, but there is no slack either under the dash or under the hood. Short of dissembling the dash, or disconnecting the controls under the hood and reconnecting them outside and testing is there any way to test the control? Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

by local shut off, do you mean a valve at the bag?

if so, that only leaves a leak in the bag as the problem. If the coach goes
down with that valve shut, it might be the o ring at the bag (under the nut)
or the bag...... soapy water might show bubbles where it is .

You must have a 73-75 coach.
There should be excess line on the outside that you can pull in.
If not splice in section, Most of those round valves are leakers. We
sell the Salton all brass valve kit to solve the leaking problem.
