I am using the switch, selenoid and arb harness. but not an arb pump.

does the main + (and relay) need to be hooked up? I assumed it was just for the pump.

As long as you've got power to the soliniod, (via switch) you don't need the relay.

I've got the blue/white to +, is it just for the light or does it power selenoid too?

So what does the name kidwired mean? Not wiring.:rolleyes:

awright smart ass I dont see you answering my questions.
Do you know the fawkin arb wiring harness? there sho aint any diagrams of it.

So.... you just a another big mouth or do you know the answer?

hey thats funny I AM KIDWIRED and that is my thread. and those diagrams DO NOT show the wiring SCHEMATICS!

it shows a pump, which I am NOT using. and it shows a couple of switches, which I am not using. AND it says to hook EVERYTHING up and guess what, if your not using an ARB pump and 3 ARB switches none of it makes sense.
I appreciate the effort :D

maybe this wil help me figure it out

The passenger compartment end of the ARB wiring harness is the three groups of wires/connectors. There is one group of 5 wires designated "Isolator Switch" (blue-white, red, red-yellow, and two blacks), one group of 5 wires designated "Switch 1" (blue-white, yellow, red, and two blacks) and a final group of 5 wires designated "Switch 2" (blue-white, drk green, yellow, and two blacks).

The system is designed to work like this: None of the lockers can be engaged unless the master "isolator switch" is turned on. There is a very big safety concern here!!! YOU SHOULD GIVE VERY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION INTO EITHER TIEING THE LOCKERS INTO THE FOURWHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM SO THEY CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED IN 4-LO OR LOCATING THE ISOLATOR SWITCH IN SUCH A LOCATION WHERE IT CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE ACTIVATED INADVERTENTLY! For obvious safety reasons it just simply isn't a very good idea to have the master compressor power switch located right next to the locker switches! (As a side note, the switches are wired in such a manner that it is necessary to have the rear lockers switched on before the front lockers will operate.)


With the above safety concerns very much so acknowledged, the first thing to do is some minor surgery on the wiring harness. This was very easily accomplished by snipping off the wires where the switch connectors were for the isolator switch and soldering "extension" wires to these ends and then running the extended wires from the isolator switch location back to where the groups of wires for Switch 1 and Switch 2 terminated up by the ash tray location.

The next section describes the wiring for the ARB isolator switch. For this switch you must follow the ARB schematic and wire the harness ends to the ARB isolator switch as specified by ARB.

The ARB master isolator switch electrical connections to the wiring harness group labeled "Isolator Switch" are as follows:

BLUE-WHITE RED

[BLANK] RED-YELLOW

BLACK BLACK



The next two sections describe the wiring for the two AEV switches. It's important to note that you must ignore the ARB wiring schematic and wire the harness ends to the AEV switches as specified by AEV.

The after market AEV switch used for the front air locker is connected to the ARB wiring harness group labeled "Switch 2" as follows: (Note that one of the ARB harness black leads is not connected.)

BLUE BLACK

[BLANK] [BLANK]

YELLOW [BLANK]

GREEN [BLANK]



The after market AEV switch used for the rear air locker is connected to the ARB wiring harness group labeled "Switch 1" as follows: (Note that one of the ARB harness black leads is not connected.)

BLUE BLACK

[BLANK] [BLANK]

RED [BLANK]

YELLOW [BLANK]



There is a separate RED-YELLOW lead wire and per the ARB schematic this wire is designated to be connected to the ignition circuit. (So that the compressor could not be active unless the ignition is turned on.) I decided that I wanted the compressor to be available to me even if the ignition was turned off. Therefore I connected this wire to a point that is always hot.

There is a separate BLUE-WHITE lead wire and per the ARB schematic this wire is designated to be connected to dash illumination. There is a light that illuminates the gear shift selector and it is the wire that I connected this BLUE-WHITE wire to thereby providing the adjustable illumination to all three switches.

Engine Compartment End of Wiring Harness

The ARB plug-in relay was mounted next to the Jeeps ECM (Engine Control Module) sharing one of the ECM's mounting screws.

The DARK BLUE and RED leads connect to the compressors pressure switch in any order you prefer.

The RED & BLACK wires attached to a plastic connector are connected to the matching connector on the compressor. (This provides the power to the compressor.)

The separate BLACK lead wire is attached to battery negative terminal.

The separate fused (30A) RED lead wire is routed to the positive terminal of the primary battery.

kidwired,

Bit testy today:flipoff2: I have the diagram on my old computer, but can't find it now. I will keep looking.

yeah sorry this is frustrating me. if its this one from the other thread dont bother. it only applies if your using ALL their stuff.

gawdamn this is easy!! I had it all right EXCEPT......

on the ISOLATOR harness I need to jumper red/yellow w/ red!!!
wooohooo!!!
I didnt want to tear the dash out to fawk w/ this, til I knew wtf I was doing.

note: red/yellow goes to keyed 12v
blue/w goes to dash illum


8-7 black
6 blu/w
3 yellow
2 red

kid wired- I'm not really sure why you wrote a novel on how the wiring goes, but it really helped me install my compressor solenoids on a car with wiring from hell with like two working wires on the whole car. So just thought I'd say thanks bro.
