I'm getting ready to get on the road but I know he's reading these. Anything is possible, but there is a difference in the way the pump sounds when loaded (he describes it as running against a closed valve), and a weak battery. Besides, he's my x boss: ham, TV and radio Chief, so I'm sure that was the 1st on the list. Having said that I'll call out there in a few and see if i need to bring crimpers, lugs, and/ or splices.
Doug: is there a common return for all those solenoids?
No, The 4 jacks all go thru the Shuttle valve extending and retracting. But, a failed/defective shuttle valve will only cause a problem on retract when there is NOT 3000 psi of pressure. The Slide rooms have their own solenoids (2 for each room). They do not interface with the Shuttle valve. A quick way to find if the shuttle vale is at fault on tha jacks is to crack the exit line loose from the valve and see if fluid squirts out when activating the pump.(messy). I would hook up a pressure gauge here and that would tell me if I had pressure. NOT messy:B I would think Quartzite would have someone there that works on HWH systems. Doug
