Black Tank Valve Stuck Open - Momentum 376TH
All my valves have worked great since I've had this trailer, and this last time out the Black Tank valve is stuck open. Recommendations? I pulled off the dividers to see the cables all drop through the floor - looks like it might be over the axles and insulation. Not sure the best way to get to the actual valve itself. Thanks in advance for any advice.

For a quick fix you could add a gate valve such as this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BGHYJS

I don't understand what you mean by this, but to access and repair/replace a waste tank valve you remove the coroplast underbelly. If the exact location of the valve is know, it's sometimes possible to cut an access hole in the coroplast.
It might help more if you tell us what trailer you have.
@Soundsailor is right on with the suggestion of the Valtera valve quick fix.2020 Reflection 273MK

Do the cable pulls feel stuck or pulling easier than before? If easier then the cable could have come off the valve assembly..no way to fix without dropping the coroplast , but the repair itself is easy. If it is binding then likely will have too run a new cable.. either will give you the advantage or re routing the cables.

I replaced my black tank valve a couple of years ago. Installed a Valterra electric valve. It’s been flawless since.

All the valves have worked flawlessly before. This last time I went to dump the black tank and it's stuck in the open position, the lever won't slide back in at all. I pulled off the backing where the cables go into the fake wall and see them drop down in over the triple axles. If I can find out exactly where it is, I'll cut into the coroplast.
