Hey my air bags arent working right any suggestions

hey my front air bags are not lifting off the ground the tanks just make a clicking noise and i cant seem to figure it out. i just got this truck and not sure how everything works on it. i thought that maybe somebody would be able to give me a suggestion on what to do. thank you.

are you hitting the right switch? (not trying to be a smart ass)

Do you have air in the tanks? Cause it sounds like your valves are clicking but no air is going to your bags.

Do you have a gauge on your tank?

could be improper ground, wrong terminal wire up, old dirty valve, try jumpin the valve with a 12 volt drill battery

thanks slappy. but whats the worst that could be wrong and what grounds and terminals should i check lol. i sound like a dumbass but this is my first truck with bags and shit. its confusing lol. thanks.
hey capona. yeah the valves r clicking and the truck like trying to go up but it dont u feel it move but it dont go all the way up. And there is also a gauge to show how my air pressure is in the tanks and there is pressure when i try lifting the truck.

whats the gauge reading?

hmmm sounds like not enough air in the tank buddy, clicking means the solenoid block is responding, or if your gauge is reading the right amount of PSI in the tank then the air valve might not be opening all the way. Is it all 4 corners?

h8rstyle its not all 4 corners its just the front it wont lift it was up the other day but not really understanding y it just quit. im new to this stuff and trying to get as familiar as i can with it and trying to fix myself. do u think it is going to be expensive to fix.

gotta figure out the problem first, its not too hard its simple plumbing. Start off with the simple stuff and start eliminating the obvious. Is the air compressor not pumping air into the tank is there a small leak in the line somewhere in any of the two front lines, is a fitting leaking get down in there and start looking around and run the system. Like 78reasons said what is your gauge reading? you know you got power to it since you hear the clicking so keep looking around bud.
