We are both right to a point, I took the original question as to just cutting off the power to the "memory" solenoid. If that was the case I was correct in saying that it would nor work. You are correct if it is a single action soleniod working with the "memory" soleniod. All you are using the switch for is to let the program know when to cut the air at the single solenoid. Peace.
