I dropped the pressure in the tank and the compressors didn't turn on. (set to 90 psi) I unhooked the power wire from the pressure switch and when i plugged it back in it just clicked. I waited a couple hours and plugged it up again and the turned on. Is this a warning that they are going out??

doesnt sound like a good thing...

if you have a multimeter, you can check it out..

i'd have to dig it out...but what i don't understand, is why they started working again.

At first i thought it was the pressure switch, but when i took away the power and put it back on, they would just "click". Like they were locked up. They've been working ok since then though.

theyve...

how many pressure switches are you running?

this makes me very sad in pants

 

[Tuna_Sammich]

you know it's a beautiful thing!

 

[caddy618]

just one. It kicks on around 90 or so, and cuts off at like 120. I got a basic 2 comp. 2 tank. 4 valve setup. all teed up for front and back.

it may have stuck for a moment..

are you running the power for the compressors through the switch, or using the switch to cycle a solenoid..

let me draw up a diagram to better explain...

 

[1ofaknd]

ok, this is what i got.

btw, how much does a new 150psi pressure switch run??

 

[Tuna_Sammich]

it looks like you have the full load of the compressors running through the pressure switch. most pressure switches cannot handle that kind of a load..

but then again, the solenoid should have another connection on it..

something like this..

there are some nice adjustable switches on eBay for like 60 bucks..

$10

 

[1ofaknd]

where can you get them that cheap??

 

[1ofaknd]

so is it the switch, or the compressors??

And 216, i believe i have a seperate wire going to the solenoid, I just didn't draw it in. And i've had this setup for several years and i haven't had any problems with it except now. That's why i thought something was going out.

check yr solenoid..
the best solenoid to go is a Constant duty cycle solenoid you can get them from Napa.. should be about 40 bucks

 

[theoglean]

suicidedoors.com has adjustable p/s's for $25.

it hasn't done it since, so i don't know if that was the problem. I'm getting some new compressors and steppin' up to 180 psi too
