air brakes
I belive that you tap into the service protion of the brakes this can
be done at the tank itis not necessary to "tap" there should be an unused plug that you can use on the service tank with out physically disrupting any lines A lot of vehicles use this or the main tank to add air operted items either in conjunction with the brakes or stand alone options most notably would be a fart start sorry air starter Stephen 77fc35 |

It would actually tie into the relay valve, can use one of the four
outputs, all tied together though, so a leak at one affects all braking output to that axle. And not to pick, but air-powered options should never be added to the rear (or front) air brake tank, only to the accessory tank and downstream of the pressure protection valve(s). - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Stephen Birtles" > > I belive that you tap into the service protion of the brakes this can > be done at the tank itis not necessary to "tap" there should be an > unused plug that you can use on the service tank with out physically > disrupting any lines > A lot of vehicles use this or the main tank to add air operted items > either in conjunction with the brakes or stand alone options most > notably would be a fart start sorry air starter > Stephen 77fc35 > |

I was checking my air brakes today & I built the air to 90 psi & then I fanned
the brakes till the alarm came on. It didn't come till the psi was 40 & at that time the spring brake came on. The alarm didn't give me any warning. Where is that alarm controlled from? I know where the buzzer is at. Thanks Don Don Spithaler 89 SP 36' Butler, PA |

The alarm is essentially a buzzer and light combination. The sender for
that should be on the drivers side under the front bumper area. It will be attached to the small black plastic air line and will have 2 wires on the flat end away form the air line hook up.

Hi Ralph     I found that sender for the low air. Mine is on left front side & it can be seen from the battery compartment. The two wires are ground but I haven't figured out how they work. The sender is a 30 psi low pressure. I would think that is when the spring brake would come on which is when mine comes on when faning down the brakes. I would think the buzzer would come on sooner to let you know you are losing air.      Don

Don, that unit should have bee a 60 psi, must have been changed at one time
or other. one of those wires goes to a hot the other ground, the hot travels up to the buzzer then buzzer to the low air light. The spring break valve is independent of that sensor, and should pop out at between 50 and 60 psi. The sensor is only a glorified air switch really, air goes low the sensor closes and completes the electrical circuit for the buzzer and light Safe travels, Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider "84FC35 "Ruff Diamond" Duncan, Oklahoma At 12:37 PM 8/26/2011 -0400, you wrote: >Hi Ralph I found that sender for the low air.
