    Air Compressor inop

    I would check the pressure switch (aka: 'points)... usually located under a cover that the wires go to. The contacts can get corroded, just like an old distributor. It's where you can also 'tweek' the max pressure build cut-off.

    Some go in the floor under the carpet. Some go in the trunk under the trunk mat/ spare tire Oblong one goes in firewall/driver's side. Small ones go in the trunk lid... Match them up to same size holes.
