[QUOTE="roboman, post: 1393164, member: 30504"] Hello, I wired up a twin ARB air compressor to my toolbox in the bed of the truck. At first, I ran a 4 gage wire back to the toolbox (without a fuse by the battery) and thinking about it over and over...decided to put a 40 amp breaker at the battery....glad I did. I attached the diagram of what I did, but the circuit keeps tripping. I am no electrician, but I figured if the ARB has two 20 AMP fuses, then I should have at least 40 amps. I also read in another post to use Aux4 (Brown wire) to switch on and off....that works, but I am not sure why my circuit keeps tripping. Also, do I need a relay? I wouldn't think so since the switches are connected to a relay. I also wonder if I really need to ground the switch wire from the ARB since the uplifter is already grounded. Any help on this would be appreciated. I included a diagram of my mess. [ATTACH=full]129060[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
