I could tell a story about the first time the emergency stop damper flap self-deployed and my panic as my engine would not start and would spew copious white smoke everywhere.  Or about the second time a year later when I totally forgot how I fixed it the first time.  Or when I left a hose off, started the bus up and when air got over 65 psi about had a heart attack as said hose started spewing very loud air (that was the day I learned my pressure protection valve actually worked).

Hopefully a picture loads.

Glad you solved your problem - the learning curve has begun!

Interesting that a PO added the "bug antennae" mirrors to your MCI in addition to the stock ones.

Oh, one other little suggestion:  You've done a nice job with your forum profile, but can we request one additional item?  Can you add your home/base city/state?  That will help us help you with locating parts and service, plus you might discover that another busnut is nearby!

FWIW & HTH. . .

I fully understand confusing the baggage bay locks with the parking brake in fact I think the are the same valve they will pop out when the pressure is low and are original equipment. Lol on my DL3 I pushed the 2 valves in for 5 minutes before I read they were for bay door locks then I found the parking brake valve under a small door by the shiftier ;D
