Hoping for some advice, as there is a week's wait to get the only local sparks to look at it.
The F250 has KAB air
suspension seats, air supply is provided by a small compressor mounted under the bonnet which pumps to a reservoir.
Wiring goes direct from battery terminal to a relay looking thingy marked "Diac Safe" "ProQuip P1512X 12vDC 20/20a" from there a wire with a 20A inline spade type fuse goes to the compressor.
All worked
well for 9 months then it stopped. First thing to
check is the inline fuse, replace the blown one with a new one. Compressor runs for 2 seconds, blows the new fuse, try another fuse, same thing.
Checked all the wiring no obvious shorts, what's going on? What should I
check next?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Chris

Hi GoneTroppo,
From a site I found via Google
Cut n paste
Product Overview:
Hadley 850-Series Direct Drive Compressor
Product Details:
Hadley 12-Volt Direct Drive 1/6th Horsepower Mini Air Compressor Kit. This H.D. Hadley light weight constructed compressor weighs less than 3.1 lbs. and _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx less than 15 amps on initial startup and 9 amps when running. With this compact compressor design, Hadley states that it can be mounted in any ventilated position. The typical operation is 110-135 PSI. It is an Intermittent Duty Compressor with a maximum run cycle of (7) min. and requires a (30) min. cool down. Since Hadley's internal parts are self lubricating (Oil Free) it means no maintenance required. The Compressor Measures 5.7''L x 2.12''W x 4.5''H
From this I would suggest that there is a fault of some type probably in the compressor itself. If so, the only thing I can suggest is to replace it.
Hope that helps.
Ross
