I've been looking, but I haven't found that thread yet. I have learned a lot! I had no idea how common the EWS sync issue is. Note to self: never let the battery run down or leave the key in the...

Good point. I tried the release valve and got nothing, but I'm not sure I had the relay jumped when I did it and I'm not sure how much residual pressure there is. I will confirm in the morning.
