how do i free stickin valves

im new to this thing and i have recently bagged my 05 neon. The only problem i am having is one of my dump valves is sticking. when i hit the swith to dump my rear one valve keeps dumpnig instead of stopping when i let off the switch. How do i fix this proble.

WD40 will usually fix it temporarily, make sure you've got a water trap in your air system to keep the junk out. those little air mufflers are good for keeping dirt and road grime out too.

where do i spray the wd40

what kind are they ..brass or the manafoild kind...if the brass single vavles you can take the a part and clean them real good only take one apart at a time to insure you can put back together right...some times its the rubber bladder and it could be the slider thing just clean and reasimble with wd-40 or some lube ...if its the manafoild gl geting them apart

ive put are tool oil in the tank and just hit it up and down for a bit and it has solved it. make shure you drane your tank frequenlty!!!!! keep the water out if your not runin a water trap if that dont work tap on the valve not the selinoid and keep flipin the switch

Make sure all your contacts are good i had one do that one time and it had a bad ground
connection.

go to your semi truck supply store they have antifreeze for your lines!!

im running 4 of the three way valve blocks so i dunno how to take those things apart. I seems like the colder it is the more it sticks. I guess ill try wd40 and even try to get my hands on the antifreeze for my lines. Thanks for your help on the matter

you can buy airbrake antifreeze at any abc or oriellys' parts store or go to walmart or the dollar store and buy isopropalyn alchole or how ever you spell it. it works the same at half the cost

How about if the bags air up over night. I have GC 450's 1/2. Do I need to take them apart and clean them. JIMMY
