Inspire Braking System
I am desperately trying to find details of the air braking system on my coach in particular the air circuit diagrams and the locations on the coach of some of the parts. My problem is associated with the hydraulic jacking system which does not work because it repeatedly asks to engage the parking brake. I have been into this in great detail and even reset the Power Gear self levelling controller several times but still it will not operate the jacks until the parking brake is "engaged". Needless to say the parking brakes activate perfectly. The parking brake knob near the driver is a pneumatic valve (not electric switch) which sends air somewhere and presumably activates a pressure switch so that this darned warning light will go out.
Incidentally the "dump tanks" switch will not respond for probably the same reasons - it's waiting for an electrical signal from a mysterious pressure switch.
I've scoured the internet but as yet to no avail. Can anyone please help?

Just had a similar problem on my '04 Inspire. Turned out to be a fuse in the electric compartment under the drivers seat.
Not positive but I think they told me #15.

Tony,
I have an 09' Inspire 360. I have an exhaust brake schematic and a chassis pneumatic system schematic if you think that will help you.

I dont know the year of your inspire but the brake pressure switch on my allure failed and it is located in front drivers side compartment. it is fed by parking brake line and closes when pressure is released thereby Lighting the dash light and on my allure allowing the slide to move. I bought mine from Kevin Waite, he had them in stock. He can probably detail the differences if any in your inspire.

Tony,
I had this same issue. It turned out the ground to the solenoid for the park brake was ineffective. Simple fix. Let me know if you want to try this, just need to add an additional ground connection.

Tony, send an individual e-mail to Kevin Waite at kvn.wt.7629@... (kvn.wt.7629@...) He can most likely help you. He worked for Country Coach for many years and is now a parts supplier for Country Coach parts. Hope this helps.

That switch is mounted on the bottom of the park brake valve.

Meant to say should be or could be.

Yep, same thing here.
Jock, I only needed to clean the ground connection. An additional ground was not necessary.
