Wire Size
The wire's on our compressor are 16 gauge, I believe, which are too big to fit into the PCM. It does not seem correct to use 18 gauge from the PCM and connect those to the 16 gauge compressor wire. Is this okay to do and if not what can we do to properly connect our compressor to the PCM. Second question...We need to run on the 24 volt side to get our double solenoids to work but our compressor is a 12 volt. Can we do this? or will we destroy our compressor running the PCM on the 24 volt side?

Thank you for the support
