Need help fast air ride problem ob2 compressor

[juldupp]

I have an air zenith ob2, i used the 12awg wire that came with the v2 kit but it looks like its not good enough. Keep burning fuses. (30amp)
So should i simply just use a <30 amp fuse (was told its not recommended for a 12awg my wire could melt) OR change it for a 6awg/8awg wire as reccomended bu air zenith?
I'd like a response as fast as possible, running on my 50 psi left on my tank atm loll
Thanks!!

There is no way that should run on a 12 gauge wire. Go with a larger size wire, minimum 6 gauge. If I were you, I would run a 4gauge.

then why the v2 comes with a 12 awg wire? standard viair compressors are fine with this ?

Viair usually runs with 8g, if you plan on keeping just the one compressor get the 8g or if you LAN on going 2 compressors eventually run a 4g.

You might want to re-read your manual. I don't see anywhere that says use a 12gauge wire. They leave that section vague for a reason. People run all different set ups, which in turn draws more or less amps. It's your set up, you have to figure out what wire and fuse's to use. I don't mean to sound like a dick, just telling you do your homework before you burn your car up.
Max amps on a 12 gauge wire = 20amps.
Max draw on a OB2 = 35amps.(probably why your blowing 30amp fuses...)
12 gauge wire + OB2 = car on fire!!!!
This is deirect for the instructions:
This compressor comes with pre-installed 80A relay with pre-wired relay socket. Connect
your battery positive power wire to the Red wire on the relay socket. (Run minimum 6AWG
wire for wire length runs more than 10 feet, and 8AWG wire for length shorter than 10 feet).
Change that wire ASAP.

Good to here. you will most likely have to change that fuse as well

That fuse in on the 12g wire

Do i need a fuse on my new wire? I think theres one on the 80a power supply im not sure

Done! One last queation, is it normal that my compressor is starting each time i air up? Its setted for 110-160 psi its not supposed

All depends on your ride height, tank size and what your pressure switch is set to. You might have a leak somewhere.

Yeah i have a leak on my back right bag, it might be because of this, its annoying it start everytime i air up even if its over what i setted it up to start
