I had the same problem in two bays today.  There was a high and low pressure problem.  I was thinking that it had to be related but the equipment was not in the some equipment cabinet.  Both of the bay timers were working correctly and stealing money.

The first think I did was check both the high pressure motor starters.  By pressing the over ride button.  They both worked.  Then I checked the voltage to the transformer it was receiving the correct voltage.  But was not getting voltage from the bays.  So I check the first bay and the  timer plug was slightly out.  Plugged it in and it worked fine.  The next bay I noticed the  fuse was broken.  This fixed the low pressure and I looked at the motor starter again and hit a little blue button to reset it then everything worked okay.

Well it was not the solenoid it was the switch.  I really messed up.  I can not remember why I was convinced it was the solenoid.

I installed a hose clamp on the other side.  This should have fixed the problem.  My Dad told me I should do this yesterday.

I assumed that the brushes were bad and exchanged them out.  Then when that did not work I checked the nozzle.  It was the nozzle.  Then the coin acceptor would not accept coins.  I had to adjust the sensitivity.

I can not seem to get the light to work on the vendor.  The light will fully illuminate then turn off or light only half way.

 Siphon breaker by drilling a 3/8" hole in the hose.  Now it takes 10 seconds when turned on and 8 seconds to turn off.  Very slow.
