Air leak help needed - ttikalsky - 07-15-2005 02:08 Not sure what the part is that the air is leaking from but hopefully someone here does. Under the front left corner near the steering gearbox is a black flat "device" with 4 air/vacum line connections. There is a fifth nipple that is constantly evacuating air. The rear suspension drops when I shutdown the main engine. Sometimes the front suspension also drops and one time the air brake system pressure drain and the suspension remain inflated. I am guessing the black unit is a diaphram for pressure balancing but not sure. Anyone know what this is and where I can get a replacement? Troy, Waconia MN 83FC33 Air leak help needed - Tom Warner - 07-15-2005 02:29 Its the valve for your cruise control. I would check all of the connections on the top of the engine where the cruise control is located. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 02:08 PM 7/15/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Not sure what the part is that the air is leaking from but hopefully >someone here does.

Could it be the power wire in the harness split inside the harness and now I am missing the power to a componenet? The wire harness is inside the tube that leads from beneath the steering wheel and is VERY tight. I had to pull hard to access the wires from either side.

But I would still carefully check the air lines into and out of your cruise control module near the back of the doghouse. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 05:47 PM 7/15/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Thanks, that figures because I was troubleshooting the cruise last >week and pulled the power wire from the harness, so I ran a power wire >directly to the red power wire that leads to the switch.

If you have a vacuum leak it will discharge air all the time whiled it tries to build the vacuum back up.

When people ask me what is that I tell them it is alive and it thinks your standing to close! I checked all the vacuum lines from the brake peddle to the engine and they all seem OK, does seem to drain the air from the tank for the step, generator tray and steering wheel.

The device is preset to shut of at around 15" vac. If you have a vacume leak it will continue to run (blow air out). One line should go the vacume tank and the others to devices requireing vac. Cap off lines till the air stopes blowing and that line should be the trouble. Byrne 7735fc Jeff August shut down, don't know why but it only does it for a few seconds at a time.

It leaks air and you can hear it in the front. My cruise lights up and makes noise but doesnt work. Thanks.

I jet pump will cut off when the vac reaches 15" and the air will stop coming out till the next cycle. If there is a vac. leak the pump will continue to blow air. Byrne 77fc35 bascom1968 air and you can hear it in the front. My cruise lights up and makes noise but doesnt work. Thanks.
