Reply to "Air Ride Suspension"

I am no expert -- but if I remember correctly, the compressor has a reservoir and always is pressured up with air, ready to go. When you call for air through the valve, the pressure goes down in the reservoir and the pressure switch closes the contacts and closes the circuit for juice to the compressor, and the compressor makes air until the pressure builds enough (finger on the valve to raise your car or not) to shut off. The button or lever you push to call for air does not regulate when the compressor goes on and off -- that is the job of the switch with the hot wire all the time.

So, do not connect these two wires and walk away -- something bad will happen. Either too much pressure will build and a safety valve will pop, or a seized air compressor will start a little fire, maybe...... don't know.

Wish I was closer to help you out. Sounds like fun!!!!

Later Jan,

Mark
