tag switch on dash causing rear to not raise up - encantotom - 09-21-2024
dave and tammy have been here this week and we tinkered with a few things on his 03 they just bought. this morning as they were getting ready to pull out of my shop we couldnt get the rear end to go to ride height. it just wouldnt go up. we tried manually raising it and nothing. i tested the rear six pack solenoids and they were energized as they should have been.
i was at the hwh control panel and dave was outside and he mentioned that he didnt think the tag had as much pressure on it as the drive. AH HA....immediately i thought of the tag switch on the dash. it had been bumped and the 3 way rocker switch was on and not in the middle. so the tag was releasing air. and nothing you can do will raise the rear up then. we had alot of noise in the shop so didnt hear anything.
moved the switch to the off center position and wallah.....the rear raised up

Tell Dave welcome to the tag switch club!
That switch really should have a cover over it.

316 has an annoying constant beeper when the tag switch is in the dump position.

Mine had a beeping sound and I was in Orlando where they put new bushings on the tag, I called Steve Denton on the phone and told him it was driving me crazy and he said check the switch and it was in the wrong position.

What happens when you push that switch DOWN?
Also we found out that sometimes we have to ‘bump’ the coach forward by shifting into drive and popping the service brake switch… then it will suddenly start raising up… also engine batteries at over 12volts really help, don’t ask how I know…
