    I cant catch a brake it seems! Every mod seems to either go bad even when its done right . I now thinking i have a bad compressor , the box came just about completely destroyed had a small bit of damage but it has taken over a month to get it installed waiting on mounts then the fog light issue. That stopped me from wiring up the compressor, so now if its bad i probably will be eating $500 bucks since its been so long when the group buy ended and all the hassle of taking it back out and not to mention the box is crap from being delivered like it was a soccer ball!

    What hasn't been modified?
    Since you dident say, did you take the plugs out of the front? Are the 2 red and 2 black wires connected? Is there a fuse in the 2 fuse holders?
    How about some pics?

    Hmm, well I can’t explain the no pressure thing but it’s a constant duty compressor so that’s why it doesn’t shut off at all when you’re using it

    It should put out a lot of pressure correct? It puts out as much as a bicycle pump

    It puts out about as much as my small 3 gallon garage compressor.

    Haha it definitely should be able to fill tires and not let pressure escape the tire. What kind of tire inflator are you using?

    Where are you grounding the black wires?
    When you power it up can you tell us one or both motors working?
    Double check the plugs at the motors?

    When it's running, is there air leaking from the hoses or connectors anywhere? Your system has to hold air to past the PSI you're trying to put in, so if any of your connectors between the compressor and tire (or locker) are leaky it won't build pressure at all.

    If you've hooked up your manifold but no lockers, did you put plugs in the open connectors on the manifold? I don't see them on the left side of the image... Uhh maybe this will help:

    [​IMG]

    That could be your problem too.;) Usually the locker solenoids go there. If there's nothing, air's probably escaping there...

    They are both plugged with the ARB plugs that came with the manifold.

    His pic shows that there is plugs in them.
    Even if his air lines were not tight the compressor can build air faster than it’ll leak out.
