Relay to a relay?

Recommended Posts

The plan is pretty fluid as there are many ways to go about setting this up. At present, I'm thinking to bypass the switch on the compressor so I don't have to open the tonneau cover to gain access to it. The hoses will be plumbed from the bed to each side of the truck. I can T off a line to the wheels and just have those 2 hoses to connect when I go to fill... And only 2 hoses to fight with to put away when I'm done. 😆

If you get a high amp relay and circuit breaker. 

 

Power side:

Large wire from battery to circuit breaker then to  post "30" on the relay. 

Large wire from post 87 to compressor

 

Switch side:

Wire from switchbox (1 through 6 in the example) to post 85 on the relay.

Ground wire (small) to post 86 on the relay. 

 

If you us a regular relay at the compressor then slice the wire as shown in the pressure cut off video and connect it to 30 and 87 on the relay.   Your 'Switch' wire will need to be run from the switch box all the  way compressor and, in that case, I would fuse it where you attach it to your switchbox 

 

Disclaimer: I am NOT an electrical expert or an automotive mechanic.   But I do have a really good understanding of how automotive electrical systems work including relays.
