Compressor fuse keeps blowing
The SPIKE relay fuse that runs our compressor keeps blowing out when the tank pressure gets up to 120. We're worried there's a problem with our compressor. We have checked that it is running with +12V on the red lead and the pressure switch is turning off our compressor (through software) at 120 psi. I just dont get what else may be the problem. Our next fix will be to replace the pump with last years. Any other ideas??
