Hopefully jd will chime in too. Started up the bike today, hit the switches to raise the shocks and nothing. Thought the relay blew so I bought a new one and put it in and still nothing. Looked over the wiring and everything looks fine. Thinking compressor **** the bed somehow. Anybody have an idea?

Did you check the inline fuse?

I don't remember a fuse, just the horn relay. When I hit the switches you can hear a click, assuming that is the relay

Unless JD has changed the wiring, there is an inline fuse. If it blew, you wouldn't hear anything since it's on the positive wire powering the system.

Check your connections, my connection from the pump to the main harness came loose once and I had to zip tie it together. Problem solved.

Call JD himself. His customer service is unmatched. You buy more than just his shock, he stands behind it 100%. If I were a betting man, he'll have you up and running that day or a new part in the mail that same day.

If the relay clicks, then there is power, check for 12 volts at relay harness plug to compressor.
