First Time Bagging a Car and having issues

Edited: 6/17/2008 8:17:48 PM by artsar

So I got a kit from universal air for a cobalt to put on my ion. (its the same platform so it shouldn't be an issue). The problem I'm having is mainly electrical. Since this kit was used it didn't come with diagrams. I understand the basics, but I'm having an issue getting the compressors to turn on. I'm not sure if the pressure switch is messed or if the relays that control the whole thing are messed. Heres a parts list of what I have and a crude diagram... any help would be appreciated.

2 Viair 380s5 Gallon TankWater Trap5 Pressure switches and screne from FBI4 2 way valves.

I know I have the valves wired right since I can hear them clicking when I play with the switches... A full diagram would be greatly appreciated or a link to where I can find out the possible issue.

i suggest you running 2 Relays bro......try hooking up one compressor like this & then hook the other one up & see how it goes.......i wouldn't run one relay on 2 compressors unless its a heavy duty solenoid

my set up is each compressor on its own relay. THey look similar to the first one posted.

I'm presuming that its:
the positive from the compressor to the 87
the positive from the pressure switch to the 86
a ground to the 85
and obviously the 30 is a positive from the battery.

I think tomorrow I'll pull everything from the trunk and start over, wire one compressor and then the other, until I get them both working right.

if you have more problems bro, call the Number in my sig, its my cell number so you should be able to reach me. like you said, you have the basic knowledge down, it's probably something dumb that is keeping it from working. make sure to use a test light or volt meter if you got it.
