Re: Compressor not working.

Assuming you have checked everything else, have you replaced the fuse in the Spike with a 20 amp circuit breaker? The start current for the compressor is 25 amps and guaranteed to blow the supplied fuse. It is possible you have blown the fuse in each Spike you have tried. It is easy to see if you pull the fuse out and hold up to the light or use a continuity checker.
