take it off and hook it straight to a 12v battery it will open if its good.

how do you know if it opens or not it clicks now if you try to dump it but no click to raise it up normally you can hear it click

you have a fill valve and a dump valve it sounds like your fill valve is not working but your dump valve is find the fill valve and test it

i know where the fill valve is how do you test it is what im asking.. hooking the valve up to a 12 volt batt straight isnt going to tell me if its filling or dumping

you should be able to hear it click if it's opening

the solenoid will click and open if your valve is working. if you have the valve in your hand you will hear and feel it opening and closing when you touch the wires to a battery.

no click does this mean the valve finally went out?
