    No sir, I'm putting hot wire in holes then second wire pictured in ground and all others trying to figure out what's going on. Just posted the 7 way photo for reference as to which "hole" is working for lift axle....

    Perfect, got a small battery and alligator clips. Where is the approximate location of the valve? And, your saying the solenoid with the two wires can be replaced versus paying $320 for the entire new valve?

    Dump valve is above rear axle and mounted to cross member.
    No serviceable parts that I have ever found.
    Country Supply in Peotone IL has been best price I've found. Got one couple months ago for 285.
    450225 is part number

    Awesome, just had my trailer in with them for a couple days last month getting new disk brake pads and a couple other things done. Tim and Paul rock. Love those guys.

    Id check to make sure when they changed from a 4way to 7 that they wired it right and didnt revers them. When i bought this trailer a couple years ago the dump axle was giving me fits. Called manufacturer and they said it was the 1st year they started using a relay instead of direct wired. Pulled relay and no more problems.
