I have had three dead solenoids. Two initially at installation and the last at the worst possible time was after the Carquest World of Wheels last week. I drove from the building to the parking lot to load the car. At the trailer ramp I accidently deflated the right front and tried to raise the car to clearance height and the right front would not raise. It was 3 degrees with 10-20 mph winds. Removed the trunk upholstery and diagnosed the problem as the right front inflate solenoid. Swapped the defective solenoid with the left front and raised the car from the ground and was able to load the car after working on the car about an hour in these conditions. I have no confidence in this system and would like to hear from anyone experiencing similar issues with frequent solenoid failures.

by "solenoid" are you talking about the air distribution valves?

I just talked to Jerry on the phone. It was a bad actuator on top of the valve.
