i would take it apart and clean the valve itself swap it out with another valve make sure its not bad or somthing

 

That means pulling the bed off.

 

sorry d00d

 

If you can open the dump and the fill at the same time( you have to wire them odd) at about 120 PSI it will blow them clean!! I would try that first

 

I'd check the wiring in your switchbox all the way to the valves...sounds like maybe you're wires got hot and melted together and are now functioning as 'one'. What happens if you just hit the dump switch with no air in the bag?

 

Yea thats what I think happened cause I got on the ground and hit the fill switch and put my hand on the soleniod black part and I can sorta fill the dump open too. Gonna trace the wires tommorrow cause its too dark now. When I first wired it all it would do it every once in a while but now it seems it is stuck on doing it all the time. The wires are ran on the driverside though so they are away from the exhaust. Thanks though.

 

O yea when I hit the switch with no air in the airshock I can here the solenoid click but havn't felt to see if the fill is doing it also.

 

The wire for my valves is speaker wire so the fill and dump wires are basically run right beside each other so thats going to make kinda hard to find the problem. I am trying to test the valves to see if they are both getting power when I hit the fill switch. So far still no luck and still doing the same thing.

 

Where do I put the leads of the mult-meter to get a voltage reading for the valves.

 

problem 1 you used speaker wire. you can A. re wire it.B take a jump pack and touch it to the wire lead coming right off the valveand see what happens there. C move your valves above your bed and never worry about having to remove the bed to check for problems

 

Slammed dime used speaker wire.

 

wut kind of switch box do u have

i had one of those 10 switch boxes and i had the same problem as u and i ended up wiring my own switches up and the problem was gone

i have heard that those switch boxes are big pos's

 

What's wrong with speaker wire?

 

That's what I'm gonna use

 

i used spkr wire and it works just fine

 

Well I still never figured out what was wrong so I put the airline that came with the airshocks back on and it stays aired up all the time and no leaks. Still gonna try and figure out whats wrong later though.

 

WTF is wrong with speaker wire.

Copper wire is copper wire. It all conducts the same. Speaker wire is easier because its easy to run 1 2-conductor wire to each corner, rather than 8 1-conductor wires. Also, it makes it easier to tell what wire is fill, and what wire is dump.

NCHEVYHEVN....what happens when you hit the switch to dump that particular valve? Nothing? Only Dump Valve works? Both fill and dump valve work?
