Low air pressure alarm

November 24, 2012, 06:56:41 am

With the air pressure building from no pressure I do not get an alarm. Where is the busser or whatever warning alarm device on my 2001 CC Affinity located? Also, what pressure should shut off? The pressure gauge on the dash works, but no signal.

Hi Herb, Our alarm is in the dash somewhere behind the gauge and clears at 60psi. Skip 2002 Intrigue #11329

Hi Herb,

Nearly all the air pressure for leveling and tank pressure indication are handled by 3 air pressure switches in the first bay under the driver.
They are side by side on the front bulkhead of the compartment. Not exactly sure which controls what, as mine were all shot, so I just replaced them all along with the diode on one of them.
Once replaced, the leveling system received a good ground and worked properly, and an over head chime began to work indicating when the parking brake was engaged with proper air pressure in the tanks, and the overhead voice tells me if the air is low and the dash low air visual indicators worked properly.
If there is a buzzer that is supposed to operate while the tanks fill to pressure, I have never heard one, or been able to find one. Seems as though with all the other visual and voice warnings, that should bee enough. Not saying there isn't one, just that I can't find it and really don't need it.
Any how....thats my story and I am sticking to it.
Luck,
Bob
