    Airlift V1 question

    09-29-2012 02:45 PM #1
    So, today I started to take apart my air ride since I'm selling it. I do have say I have not had a single issue till now. I removed the rear bags and the rear manifold. I made sure tank was still sealed since i removed the manifold then I started the car and the compressors are not kicking on. All fuses and wiring are good since everything worked few minutes before removing the bags. I though maybe it was the manifold being unplugged so I plugged them back in and still no luck. The controller shows 0psi for tank ecu flash red light like I said everything seems to be working but the compressors don't kick on.

    i had an issue like this and it ended up being one of my fuses on my main compressor was bad but the second compressor fuse was fine but wouldn't work because the main compressor wasn't turning on.

    This is a common issue. Most V1s, and V2s actually, are wired so that the pressure switch/ecu trigger a primary relay, the output pin is then used to trigger the second relay. I would definitely check those fuses as well as any other fuses in the compressor wiring. When you have the manifolds in, do all the valves click? And just double check you didn't knock a ground loose like everyone has mentioned.
