The last couple of times I used my compressor, which is mounted under the drivers seat, it was running slow, very hot, and smelled like burning clutch. Considering I run an auto that was definitely three red flags... So, turns out the connector at the compressor must have suffered from some corrosion and gone high resistance. Safe to say that it's all fixed now with 50A Anderson connectors.

Pretty standard to see these junky ARB connectors burn out.. Seen plenty of them, also seen the compressors snap the crank pin if heavily used. -
Yes, mine was looking like it had started to melt. So changed out to Deans connectors.Comment

That looks like (about) a 25A connector. I don't know what that compressor draws but mine states 40 Amps.Comment

Yep, and they use the same connectors on their dual models as well. Methinks it would be worthwhile doing some preventative maintenance if I had a dual model tucked away somewhere like the rear quarter panel...Comment

I ran a single CKMA12 on my scope and it hit 120A inrush, settling down to ~37A running.. No wonder the connector gets toasty.Silver '04 KZJ120~Manual~GXL~Dobinson/Kings lift~Custom valved Ironmans~Detroit Locker~Endless Air~X9 Superwinch~Madman EMS1~TJM Dual Battery~Rhino Roof Tray~120W solar panel~Foxwing awning~Bushskinz UVP~Long Ranger water tank~Bushman fridge~Steinbauer P-Box~Beaudesert 2 3/4"~Airtec Snorkel~TJM Sliders~Prico Boost Gauge~BFG-KO2s~TPMS~GME TX3420~Front and Rear Cameras~Ultimate Camper hanging off the back!Comment
