All 8 of my vavles just click when i hit a switch. i know i have enough pressure because the pressure switch cuts the compressors off. Im pretty sure everything is wired right and the valves arent frozen. What else could be the problem?

What kind of valves? Do you have a gauge on your tank? You may not have enough pressure.

if the valve's click they are opening, if it's not goin up either their's no pressure in the tank or the tank has low pressure. you said the press switch kick's off the comps. so what is it set at and what type of bag's do you have?

if your truck is aired out and you hit a dump valve it will only click... Only other thing i can think of. Did you just get done baggin it or was it working fine b4? If its new take some pics of your valve set up.

Well, if you are in Warren, Michigan, its 29 right now. That is still below freezing. The valves can easily be frozen shut. If you hear a click, that can still mean they are trying to open. Right now, my front valves are frozen and if I hit the switch, they will click but won't move. Also, I have plenty of pressure in my tank. If they were working fine, then all of a sudden, they don't work and you can't figure out what else it could be, dump hot water on the valves (if you can get to them easily). Then try hitting the switches right after.dragin-noma said:

If there was no pressure in the tank, wouldn't the truck be on the ground right now???

Also, I was responding to DJDAudio (in a sense). I mean, he doesn't necessarily need to get a gauge on the tank to figure out why his valves aren't working. Although its a no brainer to have one. If the truck is still in the air, that means he has air in the tank.....

I found the problem, i had to take off the solenoids for the valves when i mounted them and i accidentionally put them all back on the wrong way.
Make sure ur check valve for the compressor is not backwards and if u have that on right back sure ur airlines goin into the valves arent goin into the side of the valve that is the dump side, u can use either valve as an up and a dump but the air has to flow through the valves the right way so that would be ur best bet to check those. good luckdragin-noma said:
