compressor wire up

LOL I didnt know that.. I have never really looked.. Im gonna have to go look at my lawnmower now....

Anyway.. For anyone else looking.. Now there are two ways to wire multiple compressors on here..

so basically if i cut the hot wire leading to my compressors and put a toggle in there my compressors will only run when the key is on and when the switch is on otherwise if the switch is off they dont. right?

what switch do i use, a 2 prong one or the one with three prongs? sorry for all the questions about this....im a lil confused.

^no, cut the hot wire leading to the pressure switch.

oh crap, thats what i meant sorry.

okay cool just making sure, i have a small toggle switch that would fit into a hole i think the size of 1/2" x3/4". my understanding of this is that the hot that leads to the p.s. doesnt have to have a thick wire? so 16-14 ga. would be sufficient? the reason i ask is because is because my p.s. is on the pass. side of my air tank in the very back of my truck and the switch is very small. not sure if a bigger switch that will handle more amp would be necessary.

there is no amp load across a pressure switch if you use relays. signal wire only, 12volts, but very little current. small wires will be fine.

Don't think I'm picking you bud because I'm quoting your posts, but if you're going to correct people, be correct yourself. Making a general statement like the one above is poor. Size wire to run should not be generalized, as it varies by setup; the compressor, the length of the run. Sure you could say that 10 and 8 gauge are common, but to say that one is the minimum for every situation isn't right. If your compressor pulls 20 amps, then you could run 10gauge up to 16 feet and be okay. If your compressor pulled up to 30 amps, you could run 10 gauge up to 10 feet and be okay. 8 gauge would get you back to 13 feet or so.

bahhh, I stand behind everything I stated when in the context of this application. and you're right, "no amp load" is an overstatement, "negligible" to be precise.
If I didn't know how a relay operated, I would not install them.
