im in the middle of installinmg an air ride to my 2000 integra, and bought the kit used--there are small parts im trying to find.

I need to know what size inline fuse to use for the wire that comes from the pressure switch into the transformer---

i cant wait to finish this product and these small parts that i need keep popping up are killing me

i would start with a 15amp fuse, and if they start blowing just keep going up in amperage until they stop

How many cars have you burned to the ground?

proper wiring would be as follows. A fused (10-15 amp should be more than enough it only takes around 3 ampes to kick a relay) 12 volt power source, preferably switched. From there into the pressure switch. Then our of the pressure switch to the trigger side of the relay. Then wire the relay per its instructions (there are many different variations of relays). Out of the relay to the compressor.

i work at an audio store so i havent burnt any cars to the ground... dumbass, it all depends on how much current it draws, take a damn multi-meter up to the wire, put it on the AMP setting, what ever it reads than put a fuse on it that big...

well you definitely dont want to overfuse the wire or component..... if you did and it did short out then you could have a fire on your hands. You want to use the apropriate size fuse to the gauge of wire you are using and the accessory you are running. A fuse blowing is more than likely a warning indicator to a bigger problem unless you are simply user fusing the accessory.......
