ARB Twin Compressor Bed Mount Wiring Question

[GDirt]

Hey guys. We're somewhat new here as we just got our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon this past November. We've been doing some trips, figuring out what we want and don't want. I went ahead and purchased an ARB Twin Compressor to mount in the bed of the truck. I got the compressor mounted near the tailgate and to make things a little simpler, purchased an Expedition Essentials ARB Twin Air Compressor Extension Harness - which has been awesome. My question is for the ignition wiring, not so much worried about the illumination wire. Is there a good spot in the rear of the Gladiator to attach the ignition wire so that it doesn't have to be run back to the front of the vehicle?

Well, I don’t know how this wires. So you have like 4 gauge wire running to the back, but to prevent possible problems it has an ignition shutoff?
If you have the 7 pin trailer wiring, the ??? Look it up, I think it’s the 2o clock pin is power. I believe it is only powered with ignition. Get out your test light and check.

Hey, I was just thinking of the same thing.... the trailer wiring. The ignition wire for the compressor basically is to keep the compressor from running when the vehicle is turned off, probably keep from accidentally draining the battery. But yes, the trailer wiring. I'll be checking that out today. Thanks for the response.
