ARB Compressor Issues

Ok so I go to lock in my ARB's today and notice the compressor did not come on, so I started checking the wiring. I have power to the 40A fuse then I have power on the other side of the fuse to the 12V 40A relay. I have power going into the relay, but nothing coming out of it. Would the relay be my issue or is there something else I am missing. When I switch on the front and rear switches I can hear the solenoids kicking in so I believe they are working properly.

What's your relay rated at? If you have a 30A that could be your problem.

Hmm. Have you tried plugging in a new relay to see? I'd try that too as part of the process of eliminating links in the chain one by one.

Considering you have 40 amp fuses, you should be ok running a 60 amp relay. Easier to replace a fuse instead of a relay in case the relay is more sensitive than the fuse.
