I Sprung An Air Leak, Step Will Not Opperate...

[dthollis1961]

James,

If the air leak is where you say it is, I'd check the spring-loaded
drain valves on the air tanks. You may have hit something on the
road and dislodged or damaged one of them Follow the wire pull-cord
at the rear of the FR wheelwell to the valve and give it a look.
The stem should be centered...if it's off to one side, it's in the
drain position. You have 3 tanks and 3 spring-loaded
valves. 'course it could be leaking out of anywhere.

Pry the horn button out with your fingernails and jam it back in.
As I recall, there are only 3 small washers that make contact from
the horn button to the steering wheel to complete the path to ground
when you push the horn button.
