Re: Compressor With Spike Problems

If it is on, try reseating the PWM cable into the Spike. I was helping Team Combustion last year and they couldn't get the Spike to work. This was ultimately the problem, as the cable can seem plugged in, but actually misses the female socket inside of the Spike.

If it is off, check your code (post it if you would like with screenshots), and check the wiring of your pressure switch.

Since you're overrriding the pressure sensor right now, my guess is the cable isn't seated properly.

Please answer the first question though. That will help us all out trying to figure out your issue.
There are no LED's in the DSC at any time(in the relay area.)
BTW, Our compressor is not connected to any tube or pressure switch or nothing, It should still work right?(It works when we plug it directly to a batterty)
