I was backing up and the truck air knobs randomly popped out. I checked the compressor, it’s pumping out air. I went through all the tanks to see if they were getting air. They are. The gauges are not moving but they did move when we hooked a air line to one of the tanks to move the truck. Airbags didn’t raise either. Truck doesn’t have a dryer.

What truck do you have that doesn't dryer? There is a major leak if you lost air that quickly & your air bags are not inflating. You should be able to hear the air leak. If you trace the line coming from the airline compressor should lead you in the right direction.

Maybe it’s the purge valve on the back of your air compressor.

Have you drained the tanks? It’s possible that they are full of water leaving no room for air.

I found the culprit. This is under the fifth wheel
