Reply to "Air Ride problem"

Problem is that I can only get to the valve box from above, and even that is pretty limited for space. So I can’t reach the supply or delivery hoses. But I understand that the coils operate like a magnet when the up or down switch is pressed, so I am thinking to place a piece of metal to the outside of each coil while the wife operates the switch & feel for a magnet pull. Looking at the photo I am thinking #1 on the valve block is the coil & valve that should be working to raise the car. It seems #2 is probably the other port to raise the car, but that part of the block looks to be plugged for supplying air. I am thinking if #1 has a magnetic charge but the car still doesn’t raise, then I would pull that valve stem with the theory that valve isn’t functioning right (may be stuck). With the valve stem out I could clean that area the best I could with a few shots of air & replace with a new valve stem. At least that would rule out #1 coil & # 1 valve, no? Wife’s at knittin right now, so I just sit & eat chips with beer till then. All the better since it’s over 100 in the garage now, meaning more beer.
