3502i will not join 5508

[wjguest28]

I have a 3502i(AP_1) that will not join a 5508 WLC(WLC_1)(code 7.2.103). The 3502i(AP_1) will join 4402 WLC(WLC_2)(Code 7.0.230). I have another 3502i(AP_2) that will join the WLC_1 & WLC_2. I am using capwap discover through DNS and hard coding the primiary WLC to AP_1 & AP_2. When I debug capwap events and errors, I see the static capwap messages and replies. Both of the WLC are on the same subnet. I have defauted the AP_1 and it joins the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER as expected. When I change the Primiary WLC to WLC_1 it goes back to the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER. If i change the primiary WLC to WLC_2 it joins. If I change the primiary back to WLC_1 it joins WLC_2 even though it is not a secondary. I know the previous joined WLC are stored in NVRAM, so that might be why it is doing that. I can join other ap to WLC_1 just not this one.

can you grab a screen shot of the Security > AP Policies?

Also a debug mac addr < ap mac> debug capwap events enable , debug capwap errors enable

AP Policies are the same on the 4400 WLC_2

[wjguest28]

I ran enabled the debugs you requested and there are no events. It is like the AP stops trying to contact WLC_1 and goes stright to WLC_2. If I default the AP then the debug events that are displayed above are what is shown. Attached is AP_1 boot from console.
