Are your valves mounted with the flow in the right direction? Do you have check valves installed? Are they in the right direction? Does the Valve click when you hit the switch? Or just the Airtronix Box? Put a volt meter on the wires going to the valves and have a buddy hit the switch and see if you're gettin juice there.
Your box may not be sending the signal to the valve itself. Maybe a short in the Airtronix box. Is it a new install on the box or have you always had it?
ok, for the 3rd time. this is NOT the 1st time i have aired the truck up. i DONT have them wired up wrong, i dont have them in the wrong flow of direction. the truck has had no problems for a year, i woke up this morning to drive the truck and it wont air up.
all 4 corners are independent, and there is no way there is a crimp in the air line.
When i click any of the dumps, the airtronix box "clicks" and you can hear the dump valves open. when i click the fill i only hear the airtronix box, nothing comes from any of the fill valves..
I put a meter on the negative of the battery and power going to the fill. it lights up. The negative for the valve also checked out ok.

Is the valve stuck, Get a bigger Hammer! Not to sound like an ass, but I have had valves stick closed and just tapped on them and bam! they work again. This was due to moisture in my lines! Actually 2 gallons of water. Now I have a water trap and dryer. Hope you get it working!

just because you have voltage doesnt mean you have enough amps going to them. i think you said you have the avs box with relays? but if the wired are too thin or you have some bad connections the valves will click but not open.. hope this helps
