    In your air system it seems that you should have a small accumulator tank w the pressure switch mounted to the tank. The compressor actually bleeds pressure off when it shuts off so that it can start again with little or no head pressure... also a check valve between compressor and tank...

    Hey Rudi, connect your pressure switch to the positive on the airpump. if its on the negative side, the pump may still be grounding not allowing it to shut off. I've run into that issue myself.

    Have you checked to make sure you don't have a leak that prevents the system from coming up to full pressure? Its an easy thing to do. Put a dedicated pressure gauge between the pressure transducer and the system. You will be able to measure the pressure you achieved and see if it holds.

    Try breaking the pinns off thst hold the spring on thermostat and put it back in. It will look like a big washer then without the part with the spring. This way it slows the coolant down better then just letting it flow with out a thermostat. I learned this from a friend ling ago when my Iroc Z was over heating. That way it slows the coolant down so the fans can cool it down some.

  • @ronsereda4242

    You guys have a very broad definition of what constitutes a "trail". Seems to me if occasionally some vehicles kind of fit without incapacitating damage it must be a "trail".
    With Ben's vehicle struggling for traction good plan for Paul to be pulling down on the bumper right in front of the wheel trying to get it to hook up so it can lurch forward to the spot on the "trail" where he is standing pulling on the bumper. Had it hooked up that could have resulted in a terrible waste of mountain dew.

    Sounds like you have a leak in your air lines or the copper tube or O ring in the locker assembly for your pump to always be on and its always been that way if it has always ran since its been built 1 pump and switch to fail i can see that but multiple switches and pumps to fail not likely. You need to hook your compressor up with a gauge and engage the locker and look at the gauge to see if pressure holds or its leakiny somewhere

    If you've replaced the pressure switch more than once, there's a possibility your pump needs a rebuild. If it can't get the pressure up to the cutoff pressure, it's seals are failing, it'll just keep pumping (and poorly). Nope, haven't ever dealt with that kind of compressor, as a contractor using air tools, I've had to put piston kits in most of the jobsite ones I have. That issue of not shutting off indicates bad piston seal. Worth a looky-look

    You must have that compressor😮 all wired wrong. But i didnt see enough to know exactly how its wrong.
    Definitely Use a relay to turn the pump on and off, and then use that pressure switch to trigger the relay on and off.
    This will make sure no real current is going through the pressure switch and should stop them from failing.

    The locker pumps have to just be wired wrong. If you went through all that and you got the same outcome. You should have the power or ground (depends on the pressure switch or your preference) running through the pressure switch. When the predetermined pressure is reached it disconnects that circuit and the pump turns off.

  • @ArnCital
    @ArnCital Год назад +3

    Why no gauge on the output? If you cannot measure it, you cannot troubleshoot it, all you can do is guess or replace parts constantly; use an oil-filled gauge to protect the pointer from fluctuations. BTW, a DC motor will arc across the contacts when it opens and then welds the contacts later. This is why a DC relay will 'wipe' the contacts to clean them whereas a pressure switch contacts will not. An automotive relay with the switch might be one good solution. I have many 12 volt relays on my Jeep with the relays and high current under the hood and not under the dash. In critical circuits like brakes I will use a cycling circuit breaker but otherwise I use circuit breakers that when tripped then I have to manually reset them or otherwise use fuses.

    I had a mechanical locker and over the span of 10 years I had zero problems... Never liked the concept of the ARB with air lines.

    2 years ago I started sucking out and replacing 1 gallon of ATF out the dipstick every oil change as I was finding that driving in 100deg heat was burning the ATF. Now what I pull out is always still red and my trans seems happy.

    Paul and Matt have a lot in common, instead worrying about a fire or an unexpected predicament they both just say “we can fix it”😂

    Had the same problem on my Nissan air lockers. Those pumps leak by the piston all the time. You really need a small air receiver after the pump and a non return valve between it and the pump. Take the air for the locker from the tank. ATB & regards from the UK.
