ok i have a 2 switch set up and 4 valves...................vavles are 2 wire coming off one prong and a black wire looped to the other 2 prongs?
im needing some help? i have power to the switches,and my wires runing to my vavles? and here is where it gets weird.
i ground fill valve and it will work as soposed to,and at the same time ground the dump and then neither one will work?????????????????????
am i forgetting some thing? overlooking something do i have to ground the switches?

are the switches single or double throw that you should have the valves grounded to the truck and then the positve wires go to the switches. the switches should have three spots on them the middle should have power to them and then the outer posts you can put the valve wires how ever you want them to work

yeah my switches are double throw off in the center.
do the vavles need to be ground all seperate?

they can ground to the same spot. But a bad ground is just as bad as a bad power
Jus to make sure you have it wired correctly.... you have a 12V power going to the center prong on your switch.... then 2 wires coming off the other 2 terminals on the switch.. one going to the power on the fill valve, one going to the power on the dump valve.... the valves are both grounded to a sufficent grounding location...
It sounds as if you may have the ground and power terminals mixed up on the dump??? What kind of valves are you running?? Its hard to mess up smc's. But i know GC Xtreme valves make a difference how they are wired
