pvanweelden I hope that it is OK that I add this to this thred. I have installed the DIY Spod and added some accesories. One of them is the ARB on board air compressor that was writen up by WAYALIFE. Thank you both for the wite ups!!!!
The ARB compressor comes with a very well made wireing harness and is made to run air lockers. At this time I do not have lockers. So rather than cutting the ARB wireing harness apart or haveing a bunch of extra wires coiled up and bouncing around my engine compartment I put together my own "stand a lone" harness.
This is very simple and not expensive. I think I have about $10 to $15 invested in it.
Parts needed:
1 12v 40/30A spdt relay (supplied with compressor)
4 16ga female connectors
2 10ga female connectors
2 10ga male connectors
2 10ga ring connectors
6ft 10ga red wire (approx)
6ft 10ga black wire (approx)
6ft 16ga black wire (approx)
My Bussman Fuse/Relay box is mounted in my engine compartment. The 16ga wire that connects from the pressure switch to the Bussman Fuse/Relay panel will very in length depending on where your panel is located. The color of the wire is what ever you decide. I used white based on how I wired up my DIY Spod.
This is the rough diagram I drew up.
Here is a view of the air compressor and relay and presure switch all wired up.
Final note. This is a simple wireing mod that I did in about 2 hours (and one Gin and Tonic) that preserved the ARB wireing harness in new condition for future use. I hope this will help someone else do the same. If you have any questions or need additional pictures I will be happy to do either. Thanks again to Paul and Eddie for their great write ups which led me to this one.
