ARB air locker compressor

[BoJenkins]

My air compressor seems to have stopped working. I flips the switch and nothing happens. I checked the fuse and all lines running to and from the compressor and it all looks good. Any help would be appreciated. Oh by the way its 'XJ.

Can you give us more info... Can you turn the pump over by hand? What happens if you take the belt(s) off the motor, does the motor still spin? Is your pressure switch locked?

To continue... Did you check for power at the compressor? Does nothing happen or does it hum at all?

More info!

Your killin us here! Id say check the motor and pump first. Take the belts off and see if the motor runs, and see if the pump will turn over.

LOL! It does not have belts!!! You guys are killing me!!!

Call ARB USA, or PM Tech Tim. Tim works in Tech support for ARB, he may have some suggestions.


If you have a voltmeter, and know how to use it: You can try the following:

With the compressor switch on, you should have 12Volts on one side of the switch. So, One side is feeding the 12 volts from the relay, and the other goes to the compressor motor +12V (Should be red).

If +12V is there, and the tank pressure is below 80 PSI, the switch should be closed, and the motor should run. Bypass the pressure switch and touch those 2 connectors together, and see if the motor runs. If it does, the pressure switch is bad, and failed in the open position, if it does not, the motor may be toast, and the smoke was let out.

If +12V is not there, could be a bad relay, or the switch is bad and not turning the relay on.

Steve pretty much listed the first few tests, so I can't add much more until BoJ does those.

We do have a troubleshoot test guide I can email over, it lists step by step how to test your compressor system.
