    Okay so I looked up the name of your trailer and googled "meritor wabco tire inflation system" and ended up seeing this video. Watch this and see if it helps: https://www.meritor.com/products/meritor-tire-inflation-system

    So in watching that it seems that your system is designed to push air out and you should be able to hear it near the tire in question or you might have something on your dash or front console somewhere that says "ThermAlert" So yeah definitely get this checked out asap it's not safe.

    I walked the whole trailer again, looking under as well and didn’t see anything that I didn’t already send over

    I didn’t hear any air escaping thank god; now all I need is something to measure the tread depth with, but after that set of pliers I’m pretty tapped out lmfao good investment though because that steer tire at 70 psi was a problem

    I’ll have to try that once I get back home and grab my wrenches, seen he had to tighten it back on with a wrench and I ain’t got any at the moment; cool video

    EXTREMELY great job on checking that. You don't want a steer tire blowout. Those are scary from what I've seen on youtube.

    I’m glad there’s duals on the trailer because that would’ve been bad otherwise yesterday *nervous laughter*; thank you

    The first part is him just checking it by hand unscrewing it. He only used a wrench when he need to replace it. Just try unscrewing it by hand and then pushing the tire pressure gauge into the end of the hose. Follow the video tutorial and you should be good?.

    Thanks for posting all those pics and sucks we couldn't find any indicator for you. It appears that for your system it's all audible near the tire. What about the "Alerts" option on your dash? Anything?
