Default Accuair install help

Wass good ls peeps !! Anyone out here do their own accuair install ?? I'm pretty much finish , jus stuck at the wiring there's a orange wire that on the accuair ecu that requires me to run it to a 12v "on" source , I ran it to the 12v outlet in my center console but It did not work .... Put a test light on it and it did not work so I'm guessing that the plug works only when it's grounded when you insert a charger or something of that nature (idk) ....... So my question is where did you run this orange wire?? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated !!!

You can use any acc but you answered you own question because when you do circuits you need a hot and a return. with 12v dc you need a hot and a ground to complete the circuit.

This pic is in thanks to member AznRacer when I had the same question when installing my accuair switchspeed and Platinum Vip cup kit. On the left side of the trunk you'll find a fuse this fuse box. Use a mini add a fuse and place it in the same spot in the picture. Youll have to get a pack of mini fuses too because the stock fuses won't work in the mini add a fuse.
If you have any other questions please use this thread to ask them. Not enough LS460 specific accuair/air ride build/ install threads.
When your finished be sure to post pics or create a build thread. I've taken pics of mine just need to start a thread.

I think it's a 5. And if you turn your car on and the accuair doesn't turn on after installing the add a circuit, just flip the circuit around (be sure to turn the car off before flipping the circuit around).
Saw the other teaser thread you started, sorry about the pics. I've been slowly uploading mine on Instagram.

I ran mine to the the stock cigarette lighter power source. I got rid of the ashtray and cigarette lighter altogether, and used a wiring harness off a spare ashtray assembly I purchased in the classifieds. There's also a purple wire for a light source (changes the brightness of the touchpad), and I hooked that up to the ashtray door light. The circuit get's activated when you turn your headlights on.

You can kind of see the cigarette lighter and door light with the wire harness attached in this pic:

What size tank, how many compressors you using? I'm assuming your also using an accuair vu4 manifold. Accuair digital pressure sender?
Is there enough pressure in the tank to raise the both the front and back, or just the front? If you are using the accuair digital pressure sender then you may need to increase it to 200psi.

Is the front bags fully inflated? If so you will need to adjust the perches on the coil over to raise the bags.

I got a 4 gallon tank with 2 380 compressors , the bc's are the extreme drop so they came adjusted all the way down, it was just a matter of raising the coilover tube up .... Fully inflated I have a finger gap all the way around .... Still deciding if I wanna go a lil higher lol !! I'll post a pic in a bit.

Looking nice, man. Were you on factory air or springs/shocks before? How's the ride comparison?
