I discovered that when the suspension and the tag are both dumped and
you turn on the suspension switch only, the front is the only thing
that inflates. When you turn on the tag switch both tags and rear
inflate, strange. Perhaps someone has the answer why.

Now that I have the air bags figured out the refrigerator, NDR 1292,
quits, questions on that to follow.
