Default Air ride question

Ok I've searched and haven't found any info on this ok the problem I'm having is my compressor isn't shutting off it just keeps going and going until I unhook the wire connected to pressure switch on tank would that mean that switch is bad?

2 is always best lets the pump work less 2 480s on a 10 gallon tank at 200psi will only make the pumps run at 40% each

Yes two is better than one. I run 2 - 3 gallon tank with 2 compressors. Glad you found out that it was the pressure switch. Check the tank for water too. It's good to drain them out every now and then even if you have water traps. That moisture can end up damaging the sensors.

what kind of pressure switches you are using???? when I had bags on my grand Cherokee I ended getting a square-D pressure switch no more pressure problems after that..but I also wired up an on and off switch for the compressors in case of a leak I could shut them off...
