    I VAVE VOLVO 04 W/VOLVO ENGINE 465, WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL, TRAILER DOESN'T BRAKE. THE RED BOTTON IF I PRESS, IT NOT SEND AIR TO TRAILER'S BRAKE. I REPLACED AIR VALVE UNDER CAB (WHERE IS CONECTED BRAKE'S HOSES) AND NOTHING. ANY IDEA?

    I replaced. When i press the red boton isn't send air for release trailer's brake. Trailer still blocked until air get 120 psi and then it release the trailer's brake.

    Trailer protection valve is at the rear of sleeper before air lines change over to the plastic flex lines, ck. if air is back there before it gets to 120lbs.

    I'll check again with low pressure. When i replaced that valve, before to conect all lines, i press the red boton and air get there. But after conect all lines, the air dosen't pass thru the valve to the red hose.
