Airbag and a field fix
#18

Its been a while since I posted on this topic. I was looking forward to sharing my airbag adventure and telling the rest of my story. I still plan to do that, but first I have one last (hopefully minor) issue to resolve. Last night I finished installing the last air bag. Since I used some Loctite 545 on the airline fitting going into the airbag, I needed to let it set 24 hours to cure, before airing up. So far so good. Then today, not so good.
I started the coach and let the air pressure build to 125. No problem. I was already in level mode, started the process of raising the coach. Keep in mind, my HWH system was cobbled together by Newell, with components from HWH. This was before they actually started getting systems from HWH. I can raise each corner of the coach individually, or all 4 corners at the same time, using the master switch. I do not have automatic leveling.
Anyway, back to my issue. I already had air in all bags except the left front because that was last set of bags I replaced. When I toggled the switch to raise the left front, nothing happened (except the horn started honking). That interrupted me for a minute while i pulled the horn fuse and reinstalled it (no more honking). Normally, when I am raising the coach, the air pressure bleeds off pretty quick. In this case, my gauge didn't budge, and the coach didn't move. I played around with it and couldn't get it to do anything. I tried to lower the coach at each corner, and that didn't work either. I have power to my leveling control panel, and it was still making the annoying alarm sound like it always does when it's in level mode. I checked the fuse for the Leveling system, and it was fine, but I replaced it anyway. This is where I'm stuck. Any suggestions or ideas on what check would be greatly appreciated. Once this is resolved, I will post about my airbag install and all the fun I had along the waySmile It really has been a great learning experience.
