  • Aux Compressor No Start

    Posted by Bill on January 4, 2017 at 9:06 pm

    Does the aux air compressor have a overload switch? I turned the aux compressor on by the switch on the unit and it made a noice like it was trying to start and then click it went off. I can’t get it to come on either with the switch on the dash or the switch on the unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Bill,

    My 02 CC has a Thomas compressor as it’s aux, located behind the front bumper. Is yours the same and does your coach have the ECC cabinet in the first bay? You may simply have a bad fuse. That fuse is located in the ECC and should be easily located. If you don’t have a manual, Thomas manuals have a troubling shooting guide and can be accessed by simply Goggling Thomas compressor and your model #.

    The compressor itself may have seized up Bill blowing the fuse as George suggested. The other possibility is the pressure switch control. If it’s 12 or 24 volt, you could put power to the compressor to see if it runs.

    Bill, if the pump is bad it’ll most likely blow the fuse in the ECC. I’m sure you’re aware that the dash switch will stay green if the fuse is blown. That’s how mine works.

    Thanks guys I found the blown fuse and replaced it. It now appears that the compressor is seized up. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Put in the search engine here the words “Aux Compressor”.

    Some folks here have replaced theirs with “California Air Tools-MP100”, or a Thomas. I’m sure there are other brands. Look in the “article” section here too.

    Bill,

    Is your compressor AC or DC?

    I replaced my broken Jun-Air with this 110 volts compressor in mid October. Works like a charm an is super quiet. To reduce any noise or vibration even further, I placed it on a rubber foam mat. Now, I hardly hear it.

    Unlike, the Jun-Air, this is an air cooled compressor. Big plus.

    It is stored in the compartment behind the front bumper.

    Cheers,

    Ronald
