Re: Compressor NOT Working (multiple trials already)

Noel,
Just to be sure, have you double checked the wiring on the pressure switch? In past years, teams always had this problem when they connected the switch to the RC incorrectly. The wiring error caused the RC to sense that the pressure was already at 120 psi so it wouldn't turn the compressor on. The switch is normally closed so if you wire it between +5 and signal, the software will see a high on that input when the power is applied.
