Once you get one thing of everything working correctly it should be easy keeping it up and running because you'll always be able to compare the working one with the one that doesn't.

So I’m at the point of countless hours and time away from my family no money coming in.
Also go buy your wife some flowers and kids some ice cream.

It looks like you have somehow plumbed the regulator wrong again. The bottom where you have the hose going to the bay is the inlet that should be on the pump.

It actually wasn’t that, it was the pulley acting a fool but now I have another bay up and working

The belts look a little loose. What was the pulley doing to act like a "fool"? what size pulley are you using? This isn't rocket science, get one bays pumping equipent working correctly and then copy it on the rest of the bays. How many bays do you have?

The pulley had back off from the screws and unscrewed itself loose so it wasn’t catching

@Randy I have 4 bays currently 2 running high pressure function because I had to wait on a new air compressor motor because the other one seized up

Another crazy issue happened today when I went to test my bay 4 the switch was on stop but it started the rinse function and my control panel is wired correctly. Might be the rotary switch?

Was it working before and started this today?

It's not the rotary switch unless it's upside-down. Are there manual-run switches on the cabinet door in the room?

No it wasn’t working I just got it plumb and wired. There are no manual-run switches

I think I figured it out and I think the wiring harness fried because all my functions didn’t work

I guess when you try to reuse old stuff sometimes it decided to just die on you randomly

I don't know, I'll have to throw together a quote for all the parts. Everything has gotten really expensive.
