Re: compressor wiring
toggle with a relay.....compressors draw alot of power so I wouldn't run it long with out the truck running.....If I remeber each one draws like 13 amps

Re: compressor wiring
Mine is on with the key through a relay. Def do not let it run long with out the motor running. It will strain the system quickly.

Re: compressor wiring
I know its pretty straight forward, but does anyone have a pic of their toggle and how they ran their wires to the relay?

Re: compressor wiring
At first mines was energized once the ignition turns on, but I didnt like that the compressors would turn on right away, so i put a toggle switch.
Kev, dont have a pic, but i could get one later on. Or maybe someone will beat me to it. DZL1. |

Re: compressor wiring
