Vinny,
>From what I've learned, mineral and corrosion deposits from moisture can be
the source of a few gremlins too. With all the air discharged, you can
remove the solenoid plungers and spray some WD40 both in the main housing
and the plunger assembly (spring, seat, O ring, etc.) removing any deposits
and lubricating the assembly. Do NOT over tighten when re-installing as
the O ring seal may fail. I did this and it fixed a temperamental door so
the spare solenoid I purchased is still that, a spare.
Also, there is a lubricating hole on each main door air cylinder, so you can
add a FEW drop of light grade oil there too, or a quick spray lube. Don't
get carried away, or you'll have oily spray on the interior of your B when
the door closes.
Hope this helps,
