    Trying to get away from using the rats nest that comes with the ARB and wanting to connect the compressor to use an SPOD BantamX to turn the compressor on/off while the truck is on. Can someone sanity check the wiring diagram attached to confirm this will work? From what I can tell I don't need a connection from the SPOD to the negative(Battery) but wanting to confirm that as well. Thanks all!

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    No matter what switch you use the switch just opens or closes the circuit.

    Just one wire does nothing.As this is now the added switch does nothing.

    Always good to label the coil and contacts in relays .

    Did something similar. Yours looks correct, make sure the relay (colors) match up with below. You're good to go. I did not ground my switch panel (-) to GND. But you could chassis ground if you so choose to.

    30: Battery +
    87: Compressor +
    86: Trigger + (pressure s/w)
    85: Ground -

    I use the the Spod ARB harness adapter and it occupies 2 switches and a ground at the BantamX. For me it's switch1, ground, switch2.

    At the touch screen it only uses one switch, so you don't lose a device using their harness adapter.

    Thanks for the feedback all. Looks like I'll be all set if I tie in a ground to the spod switch.

    Do you need to use two switch locations for the Compressor if you're only using it for air and not for lockers?

    I should clarify, I have the compressor and front locker, so it uses those three connections on the Bantam. If you only have the compressor then you only use one switch and one ground. The adapter replaces a large section of the ARB harness.
