front air bags/susp dump light

[geez_al]

I had this problem in the rear. I ended up taking off the bottom nut for
height control rod (very easy, 1/4 nut 7/16 wrench) and cycling the valve
(moving the rod up and down) a bunch of times. I ended up making a new
adjustable rod using rod ends two give myself easy adjustments but just
cycling it seemed to cure the problem. In the past my bus sat a lot so I
thing the valve got a bit sticky.

It sounds like a sticky dump valve on the front suspension. Wait
until the air pressure is up, then cycle the dump switch a couple of
times.
