Hi my name is XXX. X will try to help. It sounds like you have a low air switch that is defective or the wiring in your harness is shorting together in those circuits creating your problem. Check your harness for any bare insulation or shorted connections and check continuity at your low air switch using a digital meter and testing OHMS across the switch while dropping your air pressure down from full while monitoring when the switch engages ( should be around 60psi) Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using JA
