Looking for a diagram for wiring 4 compressors. Using 4 relays, one for each compressor, and a Square D pressure switch. Anybody know where I could find this.

I've gotten on there and they have a diagram for 2 compressors. Would it be the same for 4???

wire them all the same to each relay. ground each relay. have each relay bridged to the pressure switch, then use a distribution block with some heavy 2-4 gauge coming from the battery. and probably 4 10 gauges coming out, one to each relay. thats how id do it

I been bagged for 4 years now and never once have i used a relay...I think they are a waste of time....Everyone i know that has tried to hook one up with their compressors and they always burn up...Word of advise...Save ur money and dont worry about a relay they are worthless

Used a starter solenoid on my truck instead of a relay, heavy duty enough to proabably handle 2 comps per solenoid.

better a $5 relay burning up then a switch in your dash that turns the comp on. a sparking switch in your dash can burn your truck down.

im using a continious duty solinoid. i have 3 compressors on it for over a year and never had a problem with it make sure uts 100% duty cycle or continious. a ford startoer solinoid will burn up, its only 20% or si duty cycle
