Sticky Solenoid

Hello everyone, I’m new here and very glad I found it. I currently have a Hadley air system with a Grover horn, I bought a solenoid from my local truck stop, it worked quickly for the first week or so, and now it takes 2-5 seconds to open the first time, and then will work fine for about an hour and then “locks” up again. Any idea about what could cause this? or how to fix it?
Thanks for all the help!!

Welcome. I don’t know solenoids so you’ll get a better answer from these other guys. If you can get or look inside, check for debris that might be causing it.

Well hopefully I fixed the problem, I got a solenoid from an salvaged ambulance and it seems to be working perfect.

excellent!

Where might one go about finding a junker ambulance? J/W That sounds like I could get some good stuff off of it.
