I have 2 here now, one that is burned up... yes.. You are right... i have 2 harness's to repair... I bet I make 1 out of 2... A good solder iron and heatshrink can make a $1200.00 harness new 'enough' to use again, and beat the Volvo B.S.. jojo

I have posted my opinion a few times... Why???? because a harness is not in stock, and it is over a thousand dollars... If you take the time to ohm it or just plain remove it and string it up in your shop or a room in your house if you have too.. and check every wire related to the fault codes or just every wire.. yes it is tedious and takes hours... but it doesnt cost thounsands of dollars... buy a cheap ass dvom from harbor frieght, and you can buy good wire and terminals and heat shrink at NAPA, and make pro repairs.. and as far as 'pin tension' in the plugs... you can improve the connections with a cheap ass, pick set.. from harbor freight.. .. jojo

Are you able to test your harness and repair the faults that you find within the harness? I have taken wire harness's and ohm'd wire's end to end and a physical inspection of integrity, on the plug ends and the tightness and tension of the terminal's.. and made repair's. Since it is an '04 , the wires are all white and have the path printed on them, so you can pick a plug end, and write down the wire code, and follow it to its end and use the code flow chart to find an issue within the circuit. Lot's of word's here but if you think about it... it's not really complicated... jojo

The brake light pressure switch on an RD, is on the fire wall under the hood.. in the center.. Beware, it is hot all the time regardless of ignition position.. Jojo

thank you for posting the solution.... It will help someone else with the same issue... jojo

That is great news... Thanks for the respect, But it is Truly a team effort here at BMT.. Many guys here that are ready to help... Jojo

wouldnt a 2 1/4'' do the trick.??

Thank You O.D. From: Terri...

the red button is not part of this issue Mech.. It is a seperate switch, that only controls the rear air bags.. its actually a simple system, especialy on a 90's truck...

well that is correct... they will not rise until tractor protection valve opens up to supply air to the other systems..... only the brakes get the air above 25 PSI... It is a safety feature in big trucks...

I have also seen the filter screen inside the air input port on the leveling valve, blocked up with red dirt... I guess southern red dirt can travel throught the smallest places...

there is an exh. port on the leveling valve

mech, with respect to him. He did say he was new at this.. its all good

10 seconds

the air switch takes air from the tank through a regulator in a pro set-up. then sends it to the leveling valve to the 'pilot' port.. the valve dumps the air for you, so you can hook or unhook. then flip the switch and suspension rises to a preset level..

its all good Mech... he is new to this.... we'll get it for him... Keep your OLD brain handy..... He may need it...

ok.... there is a leveling valve on the front drive axle.. make sure there is a supply of air to it. if not, let us know.. you can un hook the supply line after you reduce air pressure below 85 psi, then crank the truck and after 85-90 there should be air coming out of the line you un-hooked.. if not... the regulator at the tank is probably junk... also, remove the dash panel and see if the switch is an air switch or all electric.. post the results. jojo

do you have air bags on the rear suspension?

that is air suspension control.. it drops the air bags to hook/un-hook to a trailer...

Mech, its a pretty vague question to me... I will wait for more info..

is the switch for fifth wheel slide? What is it for, send a close up picture of the switch... some of these trailer switches require the trolley handle to be applied.. jojo

Today is my wife's Birthday, and her sister brought Her 'Great Nephew" "Zander" to visit.. He's "Country" My wife Had a great day, and the young'n likes trucks too.... He also got along with my boy too, MACK..

Im never offended.. we all have similar approaches, and take time to remind the person, posting the question.. "It take's a Village" He's lucky that he found BMT... Take care 'F'.... jojo

That is awesome... no never knew.. Wine and O.J. is actually pretty good.. just sayin'...
