Second, you are exactly right about turning on the key. When you turn on the key it opens the travel solenoids to the airbags. They usually will take about 90 psi to "float" the coach. If the system pressure is less than the pressure in the airbags, then air will flow from the airbags through the travel solenoids, through the height control valves and into the system.
Start by piping the 120V compressor into a deadhead with a gauge. Determine if the pump is actually capable of building pressure.
On the 12V compressor, confirm that you have 12V power on the pressure control switch at the pump. The switch is commonly referred to as the well pump switch. It is usuall a grey box about 2 by 3 inches. Wires will originate in that switch and go directly to the pump to turn it on and off. Start the diagnosis by determing if the swtich has power.
Well I installed a pressure gauge directly into the exhaust of the 120 compressor, turned it on and absolutely 0 pressure. The pump comes on and sounds great but nothing. It is a Thomas model 2688TE44/38. I have priced a new one at 580.00 and found a rebuild kit for 300.00 but want to know what your thoughts are.
Again, thanks for all of our advice as well as all the other Gurus out there.
