looking for the digram to wire the compressor and the relays i know someone is gonna post search the forum and i have but i cant find it

i think you run relay and use a lead to the pressure switch to open the gate to the relay, then run your primary power wire from the relay to the battery and ground the other wire to your frame from your compressor. but this is all my best guess!

Here is the one I used...(I think this is for Blowjax's Only...shAIM Products...) And I used a 40 Amp Fuse inbetween the batt. and the circuit breaker...

Is the Selenoid/relay just a starter selenoid? or is a special part?

 

[fastbagged2001]

Ok...this is only (I think) if you run a blowjax compressor...I will find another one for you...

thanxs

where is a good wire to use for the ignition or a wire thats on when the truck is on

 

[fastbagged2001]

Just a 16-8 ga wire will prolly work...I used a 12 ga I believe.

 

[NCHEVYHEVN]

If u are talking about the wire to run to tie into the ignition than use 18 gauge. On the left kick panel there should be a pink wire and u can tie into that.

Fastbagged2001 I think u are talking about the power wire.

 

[anotherblacks10]

Yeah he's talking about the power wire. i used 10 gauge and it works fine.

 

[NCHEVYHEVN]

The power size all depends on what size and how many compressors u have.

 

[fastbagged2001]

nope...all I had was 12 ga...so thats what I was using...may have been 16 tho I cant really remember...hey, you use what you have...

is the rocker switch just for if you want to turn the comp off no matter what, kinda like have it laid out so no one can take it unless they find the rocker? getting ready to wire my stuff in next week or so

Yeah,
I guess...Just dont plan on someone taking the truck tho...I use mine in cause I am asleep in my house and something possibly freaky happens, like a line coming off, or some of my dumb neighbors get drunk and decide to cut an airline or two, or if you have a leak in your system. That way my compressor wont kick on (when I lose pressure in the tank)and run the batt down...Its basically the same as running your pressure switch to your ignition. the comp. wont kick on unless the key is on. well, mine wont kick on unless the switch is on...I don't know if I have explained this good enough but anyway, I think you get the picture...

Yea thats exactly what I have. A rocker switch in the cab thats got 18 gauge from the battery to the switch, then to the relay thats plugged to a ground, the compressors, and then the pressure switch.

Basically the rocker switch or the wire from the ignition is an override of the pressure switch.
