I have the Electro Level system in my coach. Is there a way to test the skinner valves?
When I position the system for ride height it seems to work just fine. When I put the system on hold and move the rocker switch to lift or lower the passenger side rear it works fine. The driver side rear will not lift when I position rocker switch to lift. When I try to lower I get a little burst of air release through the valve only. If I work the switch several times I get the air to release through the valve continuously but it does not lower the rear end like the passenger side would do. I have removed the rocker switches and cleaned them thoroughly and have checked that current is at each pole and also current is getting to each skinner valve. I suspect that I may have a bad skinner valve but am not sure. The only way I can get the passenger side to lower is to let air out of the grayish color air line that is attached to the valve and that air line comes directly from the air bag. Then it will drop. To get it to pump back up I have to set the rocker switches to auto ride height and in a few minutes it will return to what appears ride height.

If it is a bad skinner valve are those available for replacement??
