Have not read all of this thread but to me, the contacrs in the ignition switch is a bottleneck for current running all of the circuits when including up to as much as 30+ amps drawing throught the compressor of the air ride system. In fact, thre was a bulliten modifying thr feed to the control relay to the computer from the small 10 gauge wire from the engine fuse box to the fuse block for the living area electrical system. It has a 2ga. Cable giving more potential current to the compressor . The compressor will run faster, cooler and thus will last longer. Whenever we install a new compressor, we relocate this power. The control circuit for the system still runs off the engine battery and ignition, only the compressor feed is moved. K feel this is a very important mod,

I should have clarified that it uses the accessory contacts ( the ignition switch has multiple contacts) This set of contacts are only on when the ignition switch is in the run position and not on in the accessory position.
