Underneath the car tonight, I loosened the control rod nut and was

Any help is appreciated!

I think there are no detents or they are weakly sprung on the control
valve. If my memory serves me well, the only time I felt resistance is
when it went into by-pass. Its not clear what you loosened but the link
from the control valve arm and the sway bar is what should be remove to
manually operate the valve.
If air is suspect, the system is supposed to self-bleed but opening
the bleeder and operating the valve helps. It should lower with the
engine off so be careful operating the valve under there. You did have
the engine running? Have a look at where the bracket attaches to the
sway bar too. The pinch bolt can be loose.
