Airmatic valve block. How does it work?
Okay so I am having issues with my airmatic on my E55.
No leaks anywhere. I literally checked every line, fitting, tank, bag.
So I disconnected all the lines from the valve block except for the one from the compressor.
It seems that at least three valves are open at once, is this normal? Does that block control exactly where the air goes or is that dictated by a valve opening on the bag itself?

Does anyone know what the wires should be going into the unit? For some reason one wire on mine seems to do nothing.. It's not a ground and its not a positive.
I have tested during it trying to operate, also.
I can't seem to find a wiring diagram either.

Thank you!
Guess the valve block is bad. Whenever I disconnect that wire that seems to do nothing the car sees it and throws a code right away for a short. I guess the wiring is fine and the part is bad.
Just don't understand how it always works when I test it out of the car and blow in it.
