    Impatient much?

    First why dont you start by telling us what your working on? Are you saying that air comes out the red trailer line all the time? Regardless of if the red knob is in?

    It sounds like you have a valve stuck open on the trailer emergency air supply. If you are bobtail the red knob is pulled out and no air should be coming from the red emergency line.

    Your post is a bit vague. Is your red trailer air supply knob pulled out?

    This kind of feels like a troll post
