    I have an 05 670. The brake peddle seems to have no return spring. If I try to use CC if I get it to set, I hit a bump and it knocks it out. I can hold the peddle up with my foot and all works fine. I can't even see where a return spring or ? should be. Anyone know the setup for this.

    I belive the spring is on the footvalve itself I'm not to keen on volvos but kw,pb,fl,and Mack all use that same foot valve and brake pedal mounts right to it so looks like your gonna have to replace the foot valve

    There is a procedure for brake pedal height adjustment. The adjustment screw is at the top of the foot valve. it is an allen head screw with a 13mm locknut. Srew it in till you have .16 to .32 inch of free play.. That should fix it. Make sure your air pressure is up when you do it.. I had to do mine cause the guys in our shop were gonna go the
    spring/ bungee cord route.. There is a right way to do most things and a wrong way to do everything.

    if you push red knob air fills trailer tanks. If trailer looses air you need some time to wait till truck compressor builds pressure in trailer tanks.

    I think you are miss understanding the question. He wasn't talking about that. What he was talking about is sometimes what you stop at a light or stop sign and you lift you foot off the BRAKE PEDAL. the trailer brakes are slow to release
