I was wiring up my comressor and in accident the fuse thats connected from the battery to the toggle switch touched metal and it sparked. Now my compressor wont start. Would this be that a wire got grounded or that my compressor burnt. im running a air zenith. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

its not hard buddy, they just burn up, the first one i did abuse it a little but the last 2 just went out while driving they werent even hot.
everything is installed exactly like mini truckin mag had wrote up, im using 4Ga. wire as well.
it cost $10 to ship it back to AZ directly,
http://air-zenith.com/ is their website and the number is 7022707988. they sent me a new one everytime i returned one. if they could fix the bugs these compressors would be rad.

thats the craziest shit i have heard.....i hear nothing but good things from other people about these....ya did something. You should hook the compressor directly up. if they dont work, next time done keep your negative on your battery hooked, NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER work with your negative hooked up, even if its a simple job like lowering blocks. But i dont know man.........you have a serious short in your electrical system frying these things

i have know a guy that has one on his c-10 (86Red) the first one didnt really burn up but it wouldnt go over 60psi well maybe a lil burnt but his new is still running strong. i personally have 2 450s about to add a 3rd. only had a prob outta one and i think the thermo switch screwed up.
