I was provided the wiring harness for the AiROCK system with this kit, since that was going to be sent later during the prototype stages. I don't have any photo's of wiring up the compressor, but it was fairly simple to wire. I just went switched power to switch inside Jeep, to pressure switch, to relay, from relay to compressor. That way I had control of turning the compressor on and off.
Connecting to Power:
Mark the wires, and remove the fuses from each holder.
Attach the power wires to the power post of the fuse box, or the positive terminal of the battery. You will need a 13mm combo wrench for the power post or a 10mm combo wrench for the battery terminal
Connect the ground wire to the negative battery terminal. You will need a 10mm combo wrench
Carefully remove the taped on fuse tap.
Install the fuse tap on a spare fuse. The tap will go on the load side of the fuse when installed.
Connect the fuse and fuse tap in to a switched circuit in the fuse box. This will deenergize the compressor clutch when the engine is shut off saving a load on your battery. I used
Installation compressor run indicator LED:
Off Road Only included an indicator to show when the compressor was running. One of the leading causes of compressor failure is excessive run time. Normally if you blow a line it is quickly noticeable with a bag going down, or complete air loss of the system, but if you have a leak that causes the compressor to stay running you might not hear it driving down the freeway.
