Cleaning up ARB harness

[glassjawkid32]

I have an arb twin installed on my glady. Installation was easy enough but the switch harness wiring is incredibly messy with the air locker portions going unused. My question is if it is safe to remove the air locker portion of the harness?(dumb question Im sure, but I'm not very savvy in wiring)

I have the ARB single lung compressor that came with the harness including air locker solenoid wiring. I removed what I didn’t want/need and this cleaned up the harness. Now I just have the on/off switch, relay and pressure switch.

Did you just depin those words or cut and seal?

It was a while back, as I remember, there was no depinning, totally unwrap the harness, remove unused solenoid wires, then retape the harness. Where the unused wires were removed I cut the harness, soldered then heat shrinked the remaining connection. I will see if I can find the information I had for this. If I find the info I will post. It was a simple schematic. I just used the schematic that came with the compressor to determine which wires to remove.

I got rid of the entire harness and wired it to my trigger six aux switch controller with this connector.

Can anyone tell me how long the harness is. If I were to install in rear of bed how far would the harness reach the engine compartment or would I have to extend?

You'd have to extend. It's a long run and an anderson connector would be good to disconnect.

Length depends on your route. I think harness + 12 ft extension is the most direct. From battery down along pinch, up rear wheel well and through outlet panel.

Seems like all you needed was the green wire o trigger the relay?

Make sure you upgrade your wire size for that long of a run. I just ordered some 8 ga wire as my dual compressor will also be in the bed. But that's probably pushing 22' of wire. At 25a for each compressor (max draw they say is 50 amp total draw, 25 for each compressor), with a safety margin. So a total of 4 wires at 8 ga to be safe....
