MEP, I have a D&S ss bay meter box, I’m gonna try the timer first today and see if that works, if not your correct, I will have to replace the door because the touch pad and door are all in one I believe.

I was looking to replace these at some point, they are 17 years old.

That's great, I think I told you that it was the timer a few posts back. What kind of timer is it? If it's a Dixmor timer they are repairable. When you shorted out your transformer, motor contactor you blew the Triac in the timer.

From Randy on 10/31--What kind of Timer are you using? I'd replace or swap the Timer. If the low pressure doesn't work I'd have to guess that the timed load on the timer is bad. A volt meter is your best friend at a car wash, if you don't have one get one and learn how to use it.

Cost yourself a month.
