OHIIIIIIO
So I bought the ARB Twin Compressor. It will only be used for OBA and not to engage a locker at this time...

I have the aftermarket factory style rocker switch with the compressor logo I’d like to use to turn on/off the compressor. This is the 3 wire power/load/ground switch with the light...

ARB says the purple wire in the harness controls the on/off and if airing up is the only desired function that is the only wire needed to be hooked to a switch. I have read on many forums that indeed the purple and black wires, from the ARB harness, are all that’s needed...

So my question is this. What ARB wire goes to which switch wire to make the compressor turn on/off and light up the switch?

Any help is appreciated!

Figured it out with a bit of help...

- Purple wire from compressor to white wire from switch...
- Black wire from compressor and black wire from switch both grounded to Jeep...
- Red wire from switch to a 12v source on the Jeep. This will power the white (load)/purple wire allowing the switch to start the compressor as well as power the switch light itself...
