    Another Newbie to the site looking for an answer! Fuse for air compressor?

    So it turns out that by probing the fuse block with my multi meter I spread some connectors beyond use, and they said pushed some down out of contact with the fuses. So replaced the fuse block for $400 and everything's great. I will not mess with that again! I'm putting a switch on the dash for...

    I undid everything i had done, checked that all the fuses were in the right spots. But I found that some of the fuse slots had been spread and the fuses were loose. This is beyond my level of comfort, I've never liked automotive electronics! I had the truck towed to the shop yesterday. They...

    So I pulled out the instructions that came with the compressor and yes, there's a relay pre wired into their harness. I used their harness and tried to connect exactly as instructed. I just don't think tapping of a fuse is a good way to do it on threes newer trucks. How else do you power the...

    I'm going to disconnect negative battery cables and see if that'll reset everything. I only hope I haven't screwed up the fuse block with my multi meter probes...

    The Airlift kit says to connect to a fuse, they supply a special connector to do so. I called OnStar and they say their system won't do anything to imobilize the truck without a subscription.

    The wife and I bought a 2015 Chevy 2500HD Duramax to tow our travel trailer around the country, love the truck but it rides like a real lumber wagon while towing! I installed some Airlift bags under the rear end, an air compressor under the cab and went searching for a fuse to connect to. Pulled...
