Nothing better than getting air management/compressor wiring tutorial from Jeff Goldblum
Great video! One question. There's 2 red wires going into the pressure switch on the one side... What's the second red wire?
This system has two compressors, so the second red wire activates a second relay which in turn powers the second compressor.
if you have a second compressor do you need 2 reallays ? amd 2 complete set of those wire ?
just saw the image you posted bellow tks for that !
@@HiFiP you can use one relay if it is large enough to handle the current of two compressors. The main power line will also need to be able to handle 2 x the current.
@@x2industries yeah I saw that ! I watched a guy video and he was saying 80 amps should be good
Bro thanks for the video,my compressor stop working I can not turn it on with the switch I have to connect direct to a battery what do you think it could be
Might be a bad relay or bad compressor.
A rating of 30/40 means the relay can handle a load of 30 amps on the Normally closed contacts (30 to 87a) and 40 amps on the Normally Open contacts. (30 to 87). most compressors us 40 amp.
Thanks for the copy, we don't use the center closed circuit 30 amp pin for air suspension.
Compressor pressure switch wiring only uses the 40 amp open side hence why we trim the center wire which I believe is 87a.
So it’s 2 side of pressure switch rite ?
1 goes to relay RED
1 goes to the BATTERY ?????
Thanks everything kicks on my system bags go up automatically but not by my switches my switches stop shooting air in my bags but my switch will fill up the bags then I turn it off with the kind of switch you have in your hand why my box switches not giving air to my bags
Does the relay click when connected to the pressure switch and good ground? In most cases the pressure switch goes bad, not usually the relay. You can test the relay by connecting 85 & 86 pins to +12 and ground (it should click) and turn on the compressor. It is not polarized so it does not matter which pins connect to which. This bypasses the pressure switch. Hope that helps.
My compressor stopped kicking on this morning it is connected to a switch first time I've owned a vehicle on air ride with a switch for the compressor I've always connected straight to the battery what could be the issue or how would I go about fixing it.
@@classic9147 have you tried to bypass the switch by tieing the two wires together? Does this switch connect to a pressure switch in the tank and then to a relay or is it just a switch in the circuit? To elevate any issues with the compressor, you can take a hot 12 volt lead and touch it to the power input on you compressor to see if it will power up, if not then it's most likely a worn out brush or armature in the compressor and likely need a new compressor.
I got questions sir. So I have 2 compressor 444valve.. So I need 2 relay right?
The question is what are suggest, do I have to take 2 cable to the battery from every relay. Or i can just use fuse 60 amp 2 way and then 1 cable to the battery
Hope ur answer I'm struggling with this two things
Sorry for the bad English I'm trying my best🙏
Hello, you can do either way. If you want to use a larger 4 or 6 gauge wire and split off then that is ok,. It is also OK to run 2 separate power wires. If you are using two compressors then two relays would be needed.

@@x2industries very confusing.the pressure switch turns the power on & off to fill the tanks,bags,diff. why you need a manual switch.?.my comp needs to be on,all the time, the pressure switch controls when on/off. i need a relay so it doesnt burn out, like the last 5,. this vid does not show or help..i have 3 tanks, 15 gallon, for tires ect. a power tank would be better, but illegal in aus..stupid..
@@harrywalker5836 here is the wiring diagram if that helps: www.x2industries.com/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/2018/07/dual-compressor-circuit-wiring.jpg
I have everything wired up but i think i may have done something wrong. Once i hook up my battery the compressor turns on, even if my key isnt in the ignition
This is likely due to the pressure switch being wired directly to the battery instead of a keyed on connection...

The wire that runs to the compressor will be pos correct
Yes, a positive will run from battery to relay then to your compressor.
What wire gauge did you use for all this?
There are two diffrent gauge wires, the pressure switch circuit is a smaller 16 - 18 gauge and the compressor wire should be 8 - 10 gauge.
The pin that goes into the air solenoid that controls the rear air level springs on my 2000 expedition broke off....how can I fix this
re pin it or solder direct temporarily and replace.
what happen if you dont use a pressure switch?
Comps would stay running.. it's just an on and off pressure sensor.
@@x2industries would the compressors get burned up if your going over the maximun psi (200psi)
@@streetclasscc5189 they will not burn up immediately, it will be pushing the compressors max pressure / duty cycle which means if ran at that rate for too long can and will cause the compressors to generate too much heat which in turn will compromise the output and or cause premature failure.
Where can I get this relay
www.x2industries.com/product/40amp-heavy-duty-relay/
If you need it quick you should be able to pickup a standard 40 amp relay from a local auto parts store.
Use one relay per compressor so you don't over draw your relay circuit amperage.
What size is the breaker
It depends on the compressor, we include a 30-40 amp for initial turn on spike amperage. You should be good with the same type of rating in a fuse as well.
Im running a single fire stone compressor for airbags.
@@moneymay1062 should only need 30 amps or so..
They are usually 15 to 20 amp consistent, so 30amps should cover the cold start spike.
This is a confusing video to be honest. I’m wiring one of your systems and I’m working with two relays. The install of the hardware is easy it’s all the wiring that’s so confusing with your system. Oh yeah that’s me asking for help. Thanks.
Sorry about that..
