EZ Air Ride 7-Switch Box: Wiring Simplified
The EZ Air Ride Relay (or Relays) in your Elite Kit are already positioned in the trunk—right next to your compressors, tank, and manifolds. This is your Command Center. Most pros will run a trigger wire from a keyed ignition source under the dash -such as your wiper motor or radio…to tell the compressors when to wake up. We’re going to utilize that same “Hot Spot” to power your switch box.
The Pro Move: The Pin 86 Tap
Instead of fishing miles of extra wire from your switchbox harness, all the way back under the carpet and seats to reach the dash, you’re going to tap in right at the source:
• The Connection: Tap the Red Power Wire from your EZ Air Ride 7-Switch Box – directly into Pin 86 on your relay.
• The Result: Your switch box now follows your ignition. Key on? You’ve got air. Key off? The system is dead and safe.
Constant Power vs. Safety: You Decide
If your personal preference requires you to stand outside the car at a show and hit switches while the ignition is off, you can tap that red wire into Pin 30 (Constant Battery Power).
However, our EZ Gold Standard advice is the Pin 86 Keyed setup. We’ve seen it all—from kids playing with switches at a show – to rodents chewing through wire jackets in a winter storage barn. If a wire shorts or an airline rubs through while you’re away, a constant system will fight to stay alive until the battery is dead or the pump is burnt out. Keep it keyed, keep it safe.
The Double-Lock Security Feature
Our new switch boxes come standard with a Physical Key Lockout.
• The Vehicle Ignition: Stops the accidental air-up while the car is parked.
• The Switch Box Key: This is your valet or car-show mode. Even if someone pops your ignition, they aren’t moving your suspension without that key.
Install it once. Wire it right. Keep it Easy.
