GlennWest Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 My air leaks down and I have a Ificon coming after several days of hunting. I noticed my seats. Passenger seat will still be aired up with air depleted in truck. Driver's seat will be no air. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Dreamer Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Depending on what brand air ride you have there may be slight differences but all will have a feed line to a switch on the seat. Then from there it will go to the air bag on the seat. You will have to verify if it is an air bag, lines or the switch. Our driver's side actually stays up even after the truck tank gauges show empty. Don't know about the passenger side as the DW never puts air in it. We have had our switch stick on occasion, but that was mainly due to seat belt interference when we put the new mini van seats in.

GlennWest Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 When saw this wondered if some sort of check valve. Both seats look same. May be source of air leak. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSeas Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Put in a shut off valve to your seats. Problem eliminated! Then start looking for other leaks. Makes searching for leaks easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad & Jacolyn Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I agree with Mr. Seas. My seats leak so bad that I just put a shut off in the line behind the seat.

GlennWest Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 That would be simple enough.

Nuke-E Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm in the same boat--put a shut-off valve in long ago. My leak is in an air shock of sorts. I forget now what the replacement part cost was, but I know the valve was a lot cheaper. 45' 2004 Showhauler -- VNL300, ISX, FreedomLine -- RVnerds.com -- where I've started to write about what I'm up to Headlight and Fog Light Upgrades http://deepspacelighting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
