Air compressors won't kick on

The other day I aired up my bags and my compressors wouldnt kick on to refill the tanks. Then I hit a speed bump and they kicked on. It sounded kinda flubbery at times with some loose pops. They worked fine for the rest of the night, but the next day the same thing happened. I started jerking the car left and right and they'd kick on for a second then shut off. I popped the trunk and was able to move the compressor around to keep it on.

Last night they wouldn't kick on, so I swirved again and they barely came on. Now no matter what I do they won't start. Could this be a bad connection or dead compressors? I could really use some help. Thanks

have you attempted anything at all yet?

miht want to at least try before we go over every single thing that could be wrong

:pat: lol im really bad with this stuff-- im borrowing a voltage tester to see if the compressor is even getting voltage then ill go from there

Sounds like a bad ground to me...

or a loose connection in a distributino block, or a loose fuse that is about to pop out, or or or or or or or

without some kind of a basis we cant really help him

are you using relays? they tend to go out without warning

sounds like something is loose. check all connectors

yeah sounds like the connection to the pressure switch which triggers the compressors... 
 
Wire from Ignition-----> Pressure switch on Tank ---- > relays ----> Compressors

it could be any of those connections

Also Stefan, check the relay fluid. Sometimes when it gets low, compressors stop kicking in.


I think it's either your power wire or ground.

Sounds like you need to start learning on how to work on your car and paying attention on the people that does your installation so you will not get stuck like this...

Could be a loose fuse like Grant said.

it could be 50 things. im interested to see him report back though see if we cant help him out

wire at the fuse box came loose... i need to sell this thing and keep something stock... im too dumb for this shit

thanks everyone
