Question:
I have a roadmaster 9000 brake system on my car. If I pull the breakaway pin, the pump runs but the air gauge stays on zero. Any suggestions on what to check?

I would check to see if air is coming out of the bottom of the cylinder on your Roadmaster 9000 brake system. If so you've most likely got a faulty valve and you'll need to use the Replacement Quick Exhaust Valve for Roadmaster BrakeMaster item # RM-450601-50. If there isn't air leaking out of your system and it still functions then it sounds like you just have a bad gauge.
