Does the cartridge come with the necessary sealing components?
Yes, the product description explicitly states it comes 'with gasket/seal', simplifying the installation process.
Troubleshooting
Air brake system warning lights remain on after installation.
Verify the cartridge is correctly seated and the gasket is properly sealed. Check for air leaks in the system. Ensure the correct part number was installed and the air dryer unit itself is functioning correctly.
