Hello
I am new to the forum. I purchased at 2007 Peterbilt 387 with C15. The primary air buzzer stays on and the air pressure stays at zero. The secondary air gauge is good. There is NO air leak anywhere. I changed the primary air gauge on the dash, still the same issue. I also changed the brake pressure switch which is located inside the dash still not working. I looked for any broken wires inside the dash, I couldn't see anything. Thank you

Here's the million dollar question: does the primary air tank actually have air in it?
-
Put a pressure gauge to the different tanks and see the pressure. Looking for the primary tank. It may have red hoses going to the foot valve and or rear air tanks.
If there is no pressure to that tank look for a problem in its supply line.kloria Thanks this. -

Is there air pressure at the line going to the gauge? I am guessing not. Trace that line back and look for issues along the way. Has there been any work done that the air line could have been damaged?

No the air pressure gauge is electric. I Will trace the electric line and look for issues along the way.
Thank you for your helpLast edited: Oct 6, 2020

you are supposed to have a low pressure switch near your brake foot valve. Use a multimeter to check continuity with and without air. If the result is the same, change the pressure switch .
I've seen some models with passthrough quickconnects, it is so much expensive that its better to install a pressure switch beside it.
