I can air up the left rear bag without a problem however I cannot air up
the right rear bag at all. I have been under the belief that the line is
pinched to the point that air cannot pass through( I cannot get under the
coach to inspect ).to the bag.
But could the problem be with the solenoid and if it is how do I check it
?
Thanks for any advice.

OK, William,

By design, the airsprings (airbags) are supposed to be completely isolated.

Next question:
Is the coach Electro-Level I or Electro-Level II?? BIG Difference.
If you do not know, tell us what you do know.

I do not know which one but I think that it is Electro=Level II. The
controls are to the left of the driver, does this help?

Do you have one compressor, or two? Do you have electronic ride height
sensors in the wheel wells?

I have one compressor and not an electronic ride height sensor in the
wheel well.

Then you have an EL 1. Sounds to me like you might have a problem with
either a control relay ( likely) or solenoid. The manual covers
troubleshooting this system quite well. Might benefit you if you give it a
look.

Sir, does the raise side you are having issues with make any clicks or anything in the cabinet when you push the switch to raise? If not It could be the switch dirty, they are fairly easy to take apart and clean with an eraser and lube.

The compressor (Viair) is fairly loud so if there is clicking I do not hear
it.

So the compressor comes on but does not air up bag. Yes it could be solenoid dirty or bad? You could use VOM to check for voltage going to it.

Bill,
Have the, or have you replaced the pads between the body and frame. When I started working on our air system, and after I replaced the pads, I found the air line to the passenger side had been crushed -it looked like a penny put on a railroad track.

John,
I have often thought that might be the problem. Unfortunately I no longer
have my floor jack and stands and my coach is stored at a storage yard with
a gravel surface. When I installed a macerator 7 or so years ago when I did
have the tools and a concrete pad I missed the opportunity to install new
pads. Damn.

You could always just run a new air line over to the pass airbag, sort of a sister line, and let the old one stay. Just don't try to snake it between the body and frame 😊

You can easily check the solenoid operation with your hands....just grasp the solenoid and have an assistant flick the switches....if it is functional you will "feel" the "click". Check all 6....

If they all click but yet it doesnt raise still i would make a bag addapter with schrader valve and go direct to bag....if it lifts you know its the line.

I also recommend you read how the Electro 1 works just in vase you need to take it further and start playing the solenoids connecter swap game.

I bet it's the switch. Easy fix.
