I have finally found the time to start the work on the compressor, I have it all mostly wired but have a question. I have an in-line circuit breaker and tapped into that line for the pressure switch based on your suggestion at 1:20 in the video, but I realized that the small red from the motor is left and I am not sure where that connects. I don't want to assume and blow this compressor up.🤣
I think it has something to do with the factory board and wiring? Or it is just tied into the positive wire going into the compressor inside the case work? Other than that im at a loss
Thank you. You now have first hand knowledge of how well it works. Happy I could help! The install is incomplete, the video will be coming soon. just waiting on parts.
I’m so glad I found your video. I’m installing NAPA compressor on a RAM 1500, but in the truck bed. However, I also want to be able to yank the thing out and use it as originally designed. That means Anderson plugs on the power cables and on the alligator clips so I can switch to those for portable power, plus quick disconnects on every other wire and hose. Also, I’m installing a three gal tank with a pressure switch on that instead of the compressor. My question for you is whether a check valve between the compressor and the tank is the best way to protect the compressor from piston startup wear from the back-pressure with the stored air (at 90 psi - switch is 90 - 120)? I get the idea people are talking about but that only helps if the air leaks out of the hose upstream (compressor-side) of the check valve. If the air holds, the pressure is the same on both sides of the check valve. Am I right? If so, is there a way to install a pressure relief valve that releases automatically after a certain time, or maybe at power off - I dn’t want to have to manually crack a valve open all the time. Appreciate the help. I’ll post a video on mine when it’s all installed and functional.
I think you are correct? I believe that lager more commercial style compressors have that feature? I would start at a compressor parts catalog? Im very curious about what you come up with. My plan is to add a tank at some point as well. Im glad this video was so helpful and thank you for watching.
Haven't done the research myself but some people think that it's a thermal shut off switch. For the amount of time that I run mine I don't think that it gets hot enough to need that
So I understand, why remove the board and replace it with the relay? What is the benefit? I did the pressure switch mod already but no idea why I would need to do the relay.
I did it for future proofing. If something in that circuit board was to die and I was out there in the wilderness and I needed my pump it would be a little bit of a workaround to make it work and this way I can just touch two wires together and it'll just start working. So I guess the answer to your question is: simplicity
Looks like you really know your stuff! Thank you for sharing all this information
Thanks for watching!
Very informative
Thank you!

I caped that wire off so it would not ground out. I didn't dive into the lower end of the compressor, so Im not sure what that one is for.

Ok, I think it is switch related but plan to bypass the switch like you did. So I capped it as well. Thanks, brother!!@@theschultz-ster
@@frankfiorenini1282 Anytime, Borther!!
Hey I think it's for the temperature switch?
That's great knowledge. That mod you did on the compressor and installed it on the Jeep is bad ass
Thank you. You now have first hand knowledge of how well it works. Happy I could help! The install is incomplete, the video will be coming soon. just waiting on parts.
Motivational comment......really looking forward to seeing this installed in the Jeep.
Thank you so much!! Coming soon! The engine blew up, so that is on the plate right now. Then back to the on board air
Thank you for sharing all this information. Go Ahead.
You are most welcome
Excellent, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Is that a whiteboard for a cabinet door in your kitchen?
It is a whiteboard material made by 3M. It was meant as a trial and has lasted almost a year now
What is the smaller gauge wire coming up from the motor?

Do you have pictures of how you did this by chance?
In the next week or two I will be putting out Part 3 of the video series. It will cover a lot of that stuff and it running. Thank you for watching
@@theschultz-ster bro, thank you! You are pretty good at explaining it!
@@adventure_next6869 WOW, Thank you!
