    Have 1 bay that everything works fine except no soap coming out of high pressure soap. Just high pressure water. While running, I go inside and jump 24v from hot blue wire to soap solenoid, soap starts coming out as normal. I have changed out rotor switch in bay. For some reason, the power is...

    Cat 530 pump oil

    Good question. Probably a waste of money, but I am rebuilding a pump due to some water contamination and water leakage. Figured I would just take another hr and change all of them.

    Pressure falls drastically on soap/wax

    I just got a previous similar problem solved , but need help. I have had this well maintained 6 bay carwash for over 30 yrs. Never had a problem I could not fix—until now.
