PaHunter Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Guys, Last year we picked up a new to us air hitch. We got it mounted and they did a great job. After our second trip the air compressor would not come on at all. I opened the top and there was a million wires, have no idea. I managed to get a hot wire to the compressor that I fill my air bags manually, and then shut it off. Not sure what needs to happen to make it air up itself, like it did to start. Any and all help will be appreciated. Chris Chris . Sandpiper 379 FLOK, Volvo 2012 730. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgiaHybrid Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Depending on the size of the compressor, it could be the unloader, the pressure sending switch, a bad magnetic contactor switch or several other things, shouldn't be too hard to figure out. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 It would be really easy to just eliminate it and run a supply line from the truck. A two beer job at most.

Chris Chris, At the rally if you get a air leveling valve like on your Volvo we can make it happen with air from your truck, easy to do Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Chris, Do you have good access to the sides of your hitch? What model is said hitch? I put a Hadley leveling valve on our hitch several years ago. I can tell you a few things NOT to do........... In all, it's very simple and an easy project. I may make some mods to ours while at the ECR, just to make life easier. Here's a link to How Randy A. did it. Mine is very similar.

Yes we have good access to the hitch, I have only added full fenders since the photo of the hitch was taken. The picture above is the hitch. Chris . Sandpiper 379 FLOK, Volvo 2012 730.
