I'm installing the ARB compressor that mounts to the brake booster. Hardware installation and wiring under the hood is a-ok.

The kit comes with a rocker switch with 5 terminals, and the wiring diagram shows 4 different wires going to that single switch, not to mention all the others going to the locker switches.

I am not using this for lockers - just inflation, so I'd like to just wire the compressor to a simple on-off toggle that I already have available on my existing panel in the cab.

Is somebody familiar with this kit who can give me some guidance on how to wire the switch this way, and skip all the extras for the locker switches and solenoids? I figured I could just go straight to the power connecter on the compressor, but I think it is wise to retain the pressure switch also.

 

Did you get this figured out yet.

 

Not completely... After staring at the schematic a while I think I've got it narrowed down though.

Two of the wires I can ditch with no problem...
The ground wire connects of course.

That leaves two wires and one terminal on the switch... There is a red wire that appears to be power, via the pressure switch and relay, so I figured that would be the winner, but there is also another shown coming from the switch to the ignition.
I'd rather not wire to the ignition so I'm hoping if I just go with the ground and power, and leave that ignition wire disconnected that I will be in business.

Jeep is at the dealer now (long story), but when it's back I will get to work trying to finish it up.

 

Did you take a look at WOL's recent write-up about the ARB JK kit? It might not be the same compressor as yours but maybe you can figure out what you need.

 

I did. It was very helpful for installing the hardware, but he used the switch that came with the kit, not just an on-off toggle.
I think I have it figured out... When I get the Jeep back I'll wire it up and post if I have any more trouble.

 

I am using an on off switch not the arb one. If you still have the intsructions follow them carefully with making what each wire is. I took off all the electrical wire off to follow them. I ended up cutting alot of wires out. If you need more info let me know.

 

Here is a write up for installing the compressor on a JK if it hels any.

 

Umm... I already said I used this for the hardware and under hood wiring, but he didn't use the same type of switch as me.
Thanks for playing, though!

 

What ended up happening here? I'm trying to do the same thing, but even using the ARB switch it's not working because WOL forgot to mention about splicing into the ignition. I have yet to splice into the ignition so I'm trying to find out what my options are. I too am wiring it to a simple on/off toggle switch.

Thanks!
