I thought you would just run a single compressor to do both jobs. Possibly add a pressure vessel but that can be anywhere in the system. There is a main supply that runs from the batter across to the opposite seatbox should it be required.

Most installations are only a single compressor , as let’s face it, you will only ever be using one at a time as their purposes are different

Along with Andy and Mark, I can't see why you need 2 compressors for your intended use. Spend your hard earned on a rear locker

I used a6mm ring terminal piggy backed of main battery supply to fuses under driver’s seat 👍

Having had an ARB onboard locker overheat whilst airing up tyres I have since always carried the Viair compressor for tyres and use a dedicated compressor for lockers.
Thanks for replies I have been tinkering all morning and have soughted the switch illumination via cigarette socket and fixed the earth lead. Having a cuppa before soughting out the positive terminal. Rear locker is in transit so hopefully once Nigel at Xcess4x4 has worked his magic ill be soughted by end of February. |

I run the same compressor but have it squeezed between the seatbelt and the body, fits perfectly and is very discreet. On advice from nige at xcess 4x4 I use a separate compressor for tyres.
One thing I would say about the switches on the cubby box, when they are illuminated I found that they shone on the windscreen which was very annoying so ended up disconnecting the illumination |

I have been thawted as I was wiring a fuse (15 amp) between battery positive and compressor and found the fuse holders I had bought months ago are for micro fuse not standard and of course I only have standard fuses in my kit!
Also the switch illumination has stopped working for some reason I can not fathom. Checked all connections and they are good, so called it a day. |

A standard arb compressor has its own inline fuse🤔

I was going by the wiring diagram that stated 15amp fuse. I'll look again in morning in case I missed something.

The small ARB does not come with its own inline fuse, or at least it didn’t when I installed mine so don’t think you’ve missed anything westy

Fuse isn’t in the loom on the one being used here, requires a 15amp fused supply

Well I just received the correct size fused connections. I have installed the fused connection to the battery positive with a 15amp fuse as per diagram.
Checked all connections including earth and compressor is still not working.! Would it require the pressure switch plumbed and wired in to work or is the switch wiring shown in the top diagram of the switch connections incorrect as I think I saw a post about the wiring before? |
