ARB question

[Littlexj]

I hooked up the solenoid for my front locker today and when I turn the compressor, with the switch off for the locker air is leaking out the top of the solenoid. It leaks fast enough so that the compressor wont turn off, is this a wiring issue or is the solenoid bad?

I had that problem with a new one. Mess with it a little, I think they stick when they are new.

You have the solenoid in backwards, port #1 should go to the compressor. Port #2 to the blue line.

Thanks, I'll take a look tomorrow after work. If the solenoid is in backwards could that be the reason it takes a long time to disengage?

Yes, when you flip it off, you are locking the air in the blue line.
