RE: Has anyone experienced a stuck vent solenoid?
I had a stuck vent solenoid once, but it was on my spider valve. I fixed it by cycling it a few times with the switch in my car. If you don't have switches hooked up i think it would be a PITA. You want to tap into the wire for it and apply 12v momentarily a few times.

Vent solenoid is a part of the compressor assy. It is very common for it to fail, thus preventing the compressor from airing up the bags. The only good way to fix it is to replace the compressor, preferably with a rebuilt unit from Eddie, along with a spider valve.

Ok did the system check, while I had the car on stands and no WOW (weight on wheels), I hit the pump and found that there is a leak and it seems to be coming from the dryer, as if the dryer itself was blown. So I was able to get air into bags by popping off the sensors and turning on the pump. I'm sending the pump back to strutmasters ASAP.

Glad you found the problem. If you pumped them enought, they should last you until you get it back. Hopefully its something covered by warrenty.
