how to properly wire up the valves....i'll get some pics later this evening.... i have a autoloc air command 8000....and its a royal PIA
or if you have basic wiring diagrams that would be helpful...
one side of my valves has two lead wires coming out of it and the other side of the valves has three male prongs, i realize that doesnt narrow it downmuch...but again i will post pics later on

*** Please note I am assuming that you are running our valves ***
On our 1/2" valves there are 3 prongs sticking out of the valve. There is 2 that are parallel and 1 that is on the bottom perpendicular to the other 2 prongs. The 2 that are parallel need to have a 12 volt positive (usually from a switch) and the other needs ground. When they have power/ground they will open the valve. Also it doesn't matter what one is power/ground as long as its the two parallel prongs. The bottom prong, is for a different application, do not use for our applications. http://www.universalairsuspension.co...ort/Wiring.pdf
From looking at the installation instructions from autoloc, it looks like they have a single wire output from the brain to the valves. So, you will hook the wire up from the brain to the valve that will do that function.
Pin 11: Green (-) input wire to Right Rear Pump
Pin 12: Brown/ white (-) input wire to right rear dump
Pin 13: Purple/ black (-) input wire to left rear pump
Pin 14: Red/ black (-) input wire to left rear dump
Pin 15: Grey/ red (-) input wire to right front pump
Pin 16: Orange/ black (-) input wire to right front dump
Pin 15: Pink/ black (-) input wire to left front pump
Pin 16: Yellow/ white wire to left front dump
*Please note that by Pump, that should go to your lift/up valve, and dump, should go to your drop/down valve
**Also according to the instructions the brain unit can only handle 3 amps, do depending on what kind of valve and what size the coil is, you might have to run a relay per valve. But, most valves will pull less then that (ours does aprox .67 of an amp)
So, you will run one of the parallel prongs to ground, and the other to the corresponding function output on the box.

is it really necessary to run a relay to EACH individual valve? according to autoloc it says you have to....i bought 50 bucks worth from pep boys
any pros or cons for using one.... even if its not necessary?

Doah! if you would like to check the amps you will need to pick one up. Harbor freight carrys them for a few bucks.
Most likely it will be under 3 amps. The valves that we carry pull aprox 0.67 and most of the valves that i have experience with will usually pull anywhere from 1/2-1 1/2 amps. But then again, if for some reason you have a different valve or what have you, i don't want you mad at me for giving the wrong advise
If the amp draw is under 3 amps you do not need to run the relays.
I can't do any advertisements on the forum, i am just here for tech questions. We are out of San Bernardino....
