    Hi everyone,
    I am new to the forums but not to the tacoma platform. I recently installed a ARB dual compressor w/ the wifey mount. its wired up and hoses all connected. my concern is when i flip the switch to turn it on, does the compressor cycles on/off every 10secs? is that normal or is there a something i am missing? i checked all the wiring, all i good. i couldn't find anything in the forums. let me know what you guys think, thanks!

    Definitely shouldn't cycle like that. It may have a defective pressure switch, or a leak in the system. I would spray every connection with soapy water and check for bubbles. Bubbles=leak.

    Do you have a tank installed? I have a tank, and mine runs until the tank if full and the pressure sensor cuts the compressor off. And the compressor will cycle on and off as I use air to keep the tank pressure up.

    Yeah definitely a leak.
    Cycling every 10 minutes might be within reason, but not every 10 seconds.
