air brakes - Stephen Birtles - 08-21-2006 10:02
I belive that you tap into the service protion of the brakes this can
be done at the tank itis not necessary to "tap" there should be an
unused plug that you can use on the service tank with out physically
disrupting any lines
A lot of vehicles use this or the main tank to add air operted items
either in conjunction with the brakes or stand alone options most
notably would be a fart start sorry air starter

It would actually tie into the relay valve, can use one of the four
outputs, all tied together though, so a leak at one affects all braking
output to that axle.
And not to pick, but air-powered options should never be added to the
rear (or front) air brake tank, only to the accessory tank and
downstream of the pressure protection valve(s).

air brakes - DonS - 08-25-2011 08:00
I was checking my air brakes today & I built the air to 90 psi & then I fanned
the brakes till the alarm came on. It didn't come till the psi was 40 & at that
time the spring brake came on. The alarm didn't give me any warning. Where is
that alarm controlled from? I know where the buzzer is at. Thanks Don

The alarm is essentially a buzzer and light combination. The sender for
that should be on the drivers side under the front bumper area. It will be
attached to the small black plastic air line and will have 2 wires on the
flat end away form the air line hook up.
Safe travels,

Hi Ralph     I found that sender for the low air. Mine is on left front side & it can be seen from the battery compartment. The two wires are ground but I haven't figured out how they work. The sender is a 30 psi low pressure. I would think that is when the spring brake would come on which is when mine comes on when faning down the brakes. I would think the buzzer would come on sooner to let you know you are losing air.      Don

Don, that unit should have bee a 60 psi, must have been changed at one time
or other. one of those wires goes to a hot the other ground, the hot
travels up to the buzzer then buzzer to the low air light. The spring break
valve is independent of that sensor, and should pop out at between 50 and
60 psi. The sensor is only a glorified air switch really, air goes low the
sensor closes and completes the electrical circuit for the buzzer and light
