    The problem I’m having is there is constant air going through the trailer service line whenever you push in the trailer supply valve. Also the brake light is always stuck on as soon as you build a little bit of air in the system. I’ve replaced the tractor protection valve, and the foot-break valve, but neither of those solved it.
    The last thing I can think of would be the parking brake valves in the cab… would there be anything else anyone knows about that could cause this?

    Disconnect the blue line from the trailer. Is air coming from the gladhand on the trailer or the truck? If the trailer, then most likely you have a bad brake chamber. If the truck then you have a bad valve somewhere.

    It’s coming from the truck, any ideas on what valves what caused it other than the pedal brake valve and the tractor protection valve which I have replaced?
