Compressor quit. Blew inline fuse. Replaced it. Nothing. Checked w/meter. All good. ran 12v DC directly to compressor. Nothing. Suggestions?

You might check your ground wire to make sure it is still good and try again with direct 12v again. If nothing, ck with ohm meter to see if there is any ohms across the two wires. If nothing there, replace the compressor. Good luck.

Try doing a continuity test ...(check for current) with a volt meter on each section of wire , before and after the fuse holder , there may be a broken wire somewhere.

Not sure why you are fiddling with the battery clips as the unit is typically powered through the cigarette lighter and not directly via the battery. If your car will start, start it and plug the compressor into the cigarette lighter and try again. If you tried to power the unit directly to the battery it possible you damaged the compressor. If your unit is powered via clips new clips probably will not help. Check with Slime support for help.

Sorry that I can't answer your question regarding the fuse. I was only able to use my compressor twice. The second time I used it to put air into an exercise ball and the compressor caught fire. I did talk to the seller and was told they'd never had this happen. Since it was past the 90 days they wouldn't exchange the compressor. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the performance of the compressor and the lack of customer service.

The compressor may gave stopped working because it was operating continuously due to a leak- but maybe not. Replace the compressor. Then you can tell if there's a leak.

Swap it out with other one that does work. If it works you have defective wiring or connections. Check your fuses. Try different wiring harnesses. Try the simple one that just connects to a 12v outlet. Hope it works for you and the problem is a simple one. I've had mine about 6 months and they have performed very well. Good luck.

I just blew a 10A fuse on my cigarette lighter. I have another that is 20A fused. No issues on that one.

Usually compressor fails because shocks are leaking. Best to do it all, or if money is tight then replace with standard shocks.

Replace the compressor as well. If it was still good it would come on when you start the vehicle. It most likely burned out because the shocks were leaking.

The compressor is designed to run on 12-volt DC and comes with clamps to attach to a standard 12-volt battery. It works very well, but I don't think you could operate it with a reasonable sized transformer. I suspect the amp load is fairly high. Hope this helps.

Non-existant. If it was me?? I would buy this generator at Costco and get their warranty. If it fails...back to Costco!!

The compressor doesn't have a battery. It runs off the 12 volt port (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.

my compressor works fine. no problem so far. i've owned it over 2 years. i like it.

Blown fuse, wiring. Check fuses first (easiest) then look at wiring. Could've blown amp if wiring/ground bad.

Be sure to use a relay. It pulls a lot of juice. I did have to return my 1st one due to a crack around the compresser. If it works sometimes I would verify all connections. It may be a loose or pinched wire.

I have had my compressor on a 15A circuit for over a year and never tripped a breaker. Just keep in mind, that could change with what else you have running on that circuit. I don't think you will have any problems under normal usage.

Blown fuse! Of course after its unplugged... Be very careful to watch how it pops out. Apparently there's a little clip you will need to pry up when putting in the new fuse. I wound up calling an electrician friend & he said I just didn't have it in that clip correctly. One more note he said do not have it in a surge protected outlet because the tub cord already has one and the two will continue to blow that same fuse! I bought my replacement fuse here on amazon & my husband picked up a couple of spares @ the local Ace. Good luck!
