ARB Brushless Air Compressors

[Gronco2024]

I ordered it from ARB and got the bracket from you. but it would be cool if you could help, i dont want to ruin the compressor and get it ready for the trip with the kids

Ohh. May I ask why you didn't order it from us as the kit? You coulda saved a bunch of money. What is your order #. I can email you instructions.

For those who are also curious...

Here is your pinout on the back of the switch

-Top one is GROUND (body chassis)
-Center one is +12VDC (bring in a fused power source from the battery, fuse it near the battery, a 5AMP fuse is fine as it's just a small current)
-Bottom one is the ARB compressor. This would be the RED wire on the 4-wire bundle you have there.

So you are basically making and breaking power to that bottom pin, which goes to the compressor and triggers it to turn on. Make sense?

It's easier with the old school twin since we have a harness that plugs into the compressor. But on the new ARB they did away with that. So it's just 1 extra step but that's easy.

Now you don't NEED to bring in the ground if you don't want. All the ground wire is doing is allowing the built in light on the switch to turn on. So if you want to skip that step, you sure can. All we really need the switch to do is make and break +12VDC back to the compressor's trigger.

Again this is only on the BRUSHLESS compressor. If you are reading this and have the old NON-BRUSHLESS Twin, well it's actually the same concept only you use the PURPLE wire on the 3-wire bundle (but we make a harness that plugs right into the compressor and then right into the switch for that setup, much easier)

Hey. Sorry if this has already been asked, but what wires are you all connecting the red and blue wires to if you choose to use the included switch instead of going to the Aux switches? I attached the wiring diagram from the instructions. I'm referring to the RED-YEL and the BLU-WHT wires. Thanks in advance.

Also the 4x4 bracket looks great and awesome quality. Looking forward to installing soon.

If I recall, I extended the RED-YEL wire to the fuse box and used an add-a-fuse to tap into fuse #66 since I don't have the sway bar disconnect. Don't forget to use some wire loom to protect the wire runs.

Negative. You do not add any fuse-taps on the Brushless.

All you need to do is apply positive power to the red wire, of the 4-wire bundle. That is it. Do that either via an upfitter OR add a switch in.

Well, following the included diagram I decided to extend the RED-YEL wire to an accessory fuse to provide the switch power. This wire is in charge of completing or breaking the power circuit. If I pull the fuse tap the switch doesn't work and the compressor doesn't power on (working as intended).

The diagram also shows the LT-BLU wire goes into the "error detection PCB" and the RED wire supplies power to the pressure switch, which I would think is pretty important to make sure those were wired correctly. Could you wire it the way you're describing, sure, but it seems like a shortcut and doesn't provide power to all of the necessary components.

actually that’s how it’s wired… we are not dimming the light switch or anything so no need for extra taps - power to the red wire is what turns the compressor on - you are welcome to do what you want BUT your doing a lot of extra steps and tapping onto circuits you don’t need to

Thanks for the clarification, I have an arb brushless twin lying around and planning to order your bracket along with the switch bracket.

I want the compressor to run only when my AUX6 and the ARB switch are both turned on.

So in this case I have to connect my aux 6 to the center 12VDC and the bottom ARB connection I have to connect the red wire in the 4 wire bundle and I dont need to add a fuse since my AUX6 is already fused for 10A. right?

Thanks

incorrect. Your black/red power wires stay connected to the battery (using the fuses included with the compressor). The only thing that goes to an upfitter is the tiny red wire i the small 4 wire bundle. The main power wires have to stay connected to the battery.

You save $$ when you buy our kit w/compressor.

Yeah the main power wires stay connected to the battery,

I was referring to the tiny red wire connection to have both AUX and the ARB switch function

So you want to use both a switch under the hood AND the upfitter?

I mean you can do that. You'd just need to also connect the red wire, from the 4 wire bundle, to the upfitter and switch is all.
