Scott,
Then I doubt that much of what I was saying is the problem. If it's
common to both the
inside and outside switches, then I doubt it's a switch. You have
the air latches so it's
probably not a power draw problem. It could be a dirty connection at
the 4 pin
connector to the air dist. panel. I'd check the voltage on the pin
for that solenoid, on
both sides of the connector. It could be a loose or dirty ground
also. So check to see
how the solenoids are grounded. I think all the ground sides of the
solenoids are tied
to one spot. You might want to take them apart, make sure each wire/
eye let is clean
and that the connection point on the panel is clean. Use some
sandpaper to clean the
wires and panel. Then check the ground from the panel to a real
ground or the neg.
battery terminal.
Also Rich (HTC) may have hit this one on the head. If it's not
electrical, then his point
about the oil may be it. I'm supprised that he says oil can cause it
to stick. I would have
suggested putting a drop of oil in the valve to lubricate the needle valve.
