Default Air sus/dakota digital issue

Hey Guys,

I've have an issue with my dakota digital controller.

Right now on the screen it reads tank 00. That is normal since I just hook up the system, but currently I just have the rear bags connected and the from valves connected.

Now since the controller has sensors for each bag and the tank, would that still cause to see no air in the tank even after the compressors have been running?

I know the gray wire from the brain goes to the sensor on the tank and then goes to ground right?

Today I'll be connected the rest of the system.

Thanks to Solo for a great help in getting this set up.
Thanks to Will aka TAMR_GUS98 for help in wiring up and working on the planning of the valve placement.

This is the first UAS/Tein CSv2 set up on a GS from what I was told. Once the kit is done, full pictures will be displayed with the custom brackets.

Here are some teaser shots for now.

Looks like you're running 1/2" lines...that's too fast for me...

Not sure why it wouldn't detect, I haven't messed with digital yet but I'm sure it's something simple...

I'm the first with TeinCS/UAS combo for the SC's...

Should be a great show, everyone is on air!

So you're the person with UAS on Tein CS's When I spoke with Zack he was like yea we did the UAS on Tein CS's before. heh

With the combo are you sitting all the way on the ground? I'll find out later today when the fronts are completed.

You should be able to see pressure in your tank, no reason why you can't. I'm not familiar with the Dakota system, but each sensor should work individually.

so I found out nothing is wrong with the digital controller, I have a leak which I think is at the tank since I never see the monitor register any air. I already pulled the tank off and in 7 hours I'll be doing a pressure test to see where leaks may be.

my buddy has a shop out here in ATX and says the chrome tanks usually leak. He gave me some thread sealant on for my tank on my 1939 Chevy and we rethreaded the holes...the chrome has something to do with it. After all that, the tank stopped leaking. might give it a try. Soapy water is your friend. BTW, all my rides are bagged and no leaks running the chrome tanks

well I found the leak at 2 places at the tank, and I fix my valves.

So now the air system is complete. I'll post pictures and details later today.
