Les,
If the valve is closed the black handle should be down by the air cylinder. I have never had to dump manually, but I know you can manually just pull up on the handle to open the valve. I would shut off the 12V compressor, drain the air from the air tank in the right wheel well and then pull the handle straight up about 6"--I would drain the air just because I have never pulled up on the dump valve when it was under pressure. Is the air valve not working a new problem?
I agree with Forest. I would be removing the brake valve and taking it to a shop. They can help you get the right DOT fittings.
