Alright I'm still new to all this airbag stuff, but the problem i'm having is when i go out to start my truck in the morning it is dead after sitting all night. I was out there like 3 hrs the other night and didn't hear no leaks and the compressors never cut on, but i went to start my truck and as soon as i jumped it the compressors were on. Could i have a leak? something i might need to replace or check, any help would be greatly appreciated its starting to get aggravating. Thanks

yea more then likely your comps are kicking on at night and killing your battery.

Do you have any ideas on what could be causing them to kick on?

try to hook the 12v side of the pressure switch to an ignition wire that way the only time the compressor can engage is when the truck is on. You still might want to spray windex on all of your fittings to make sure they are not leaking and be sure you have a check valve between your tank and compressor. Good Luck

Whats the check valve do? Sorry if this sounds dumd but i'm new to all this.

the check valve only lets air flow one way. start by checking all of your fitting and lines. sometime the line can get holes and cracks. and make sure to do what james said hook the compressor to a ignition wire, that will save you lot of time in the long run

Definitely hook the pressure switch to the ignition or a toggle.. Then like everyone said, triple check for leaks.. and remember if its hot during the day/cold at night, when you wake up the PSI might be down a little and you could still be leak free. The psi can change with temperature, I used to love coming out of school and having like 20PSI more LOL
