bibby>Chode Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Do they pop when you hit the up switch? I'm guessing no since they arent airing the truck up. Also, im assuming you have some air in the tank. Granted those things are true, the problems is either stuck valves, a bad switch, or bad wiring to the valves. Heres how i would trouble shoot it... Get a multimeter or test light and hook it into the power on the up valves then hit the up switch. If you get a reading, or the testlight lights up, you got bad valves. If it doesnt, that means you arent getting power to those valves and the problem is further up, most likely at the switch box. Follow the power lines back up to the switchbox to make sure there are no breaks in the lines all the way back up the the switchbox. If there are breaks, fix them and youll be good. If no breaks, report back and we will go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big dee Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 i played with it pretty hard i could have drug it and got in to a wire. im gonna jack it up in the back and see if somthing could have come loose and got cut or grounded out. if thats not it it must be a valve? i tryed a new switch and it did the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fuse thats blowing, is it giving power to the entire switchbox? Then once it pops, no switches work? If so, your rear up power lines to your valves must be grounding out causing that fuse to pop when you send power through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphinxbccp Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Do you have any pictures of the set up? If you can post up some pics of it (bags, compressors, valves, tanks etc.) then we might have a better idea of what your working with. And look to see what size power wire is running to the compressors and what relays they have.

doug118 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah if it's popping a fuse everytime then it's a bad wire somewhere. A stuck valve wouldn't cause a fuse to pop. It's an electrical problem. Like said, post up pictures and we can further help you figure everything out. Or even better, post up a video 2001 Tahoe.
