Title: Aux air compressor Pressure Switch
Post by: Gerry & Anna Richer on July 31, 2013, 01:27:03 pm
Noticed that my coach 2003 U320, was not maintaining it's level. Traced it back to the pressure switch which was not turning on the pump. Removed the protective cover and manually pushed the rocker switch which turned the pump on  and leveled the coach. Since monitoring this issue find the switch still not turning on pump automatically, wondering if defective switch or other problem.

Lowes has the replacement switch for air compressors, very simple job.

Did you consider cleaning the contacts and adjusting the spring tension for on/off response? Or checking the primary coil being for open?

Thanks Jim ,where would I find the primary coil?, I checked the contacts they appear to be ok. also may check the solenoid.
Will keep plugging, & check the schematics for the on/off pressure.
