110V Air Compressor Solenoid Valve
#3

I'm not sure how to attach a picture on this forum but I think I figured out why the compressor stopped working. This coach came with two of the electric solenoids, one on the bottom of the separator/dryer and one between the tank and the manifold. There are two sets of wires coming from the contactor, one is hooked to the solenoid on the bottom of the manifold under the pressure switch and the other set is cut off and hanging there. Since it's no longer draining and it doesn't release air pressure it's causing head pressure which is why the pump hums but won't start up. If I crack the air line right at the pump and leave it hand tight it bleads off air between the pump and check valve and the pump works like it's supposed to. 

I found the check valve someone put in which is a small brass cylinder between hose clamps and fuel hose. (yes hose clamps and fuel hose on an air line?!?!) It looks like the auto drain quit working on the separator/dryer that they installed to replace the factory one. 

Morgan at Newell is sending me a new Separator/dryer, the correct check valve and the solenoid that goes on the bottom of the separator/ dryer so I can put it back to the way it was originally designed.
