bad switchbox?

AmDD · 06-10-2007, 05:47 PM

i think i have a bad switchbox but im not sure. i hooked it up and it kept blowing fuses, so i took my DMM and did a continuity test from ground to all the "valve connections" and my front left dump is shorting out. how do you have this wired up? i figure its very simple and an easy fix, is it just a set of relays and momentary switches?

well i decided to open it up and take a look inside. when it was assembled one of the solder joints was pressed into the ground wire, it cut the ground and was shorting out that way. i fixed the wire and moved it out of the way. it seems to be working fine now.

its the 9 switch rocker with keylock.

That's a first. I don't understand how your switch would slowly leak in air. That's in your air system not your switchbox. We do NOT recommend you opening up your box. It can and will VOID your warranty.
