Hi there I recently had a problem when I engaged my Air Locker....air was escaping from the top of the release valve on the solenoid forcing the compressor to have to kick in every couple of minutes. I took the unit to ARB and was told that " These solenoids just stop working sometimes " and the only option was to buy another at $ 86 !!!!! fugg that I thought seeing as the airlocker is now worth more than the vehicle its in :) after pulling the unit apart I noticed small particles of dust and grit inside which must have been stopping the valve seal from fully contacting.....bit of a wash with metho and a cotton tip and she was right as rain :D gotta love those little wins....anyway hope this may save someone else money someday p.s not having a go at ARB who have a great rep, but clearly need more money ;) ,
