    I had exactly the same problem a few months ago... fixed up all the piddly airline leaks and just bought a new compressor from the UK and it now works perfectly.
    Hope Wayneg's compressor clears it up for you...

    Well after blowing Maxi fuse 2 (3 times in about 10 minutes!!) I figured something must be wrong with my dodgey EAS workaround. Duh.

    I narrowed it down to the damn rocker switch I bought from SCA was for some reason blowing the fuse... makes it difficult to go buy a new one when the blown fuse is for the starter motor solenoid...

    I think I might take the plunge on a new compressor from the UK and hope... £137.49 from island 4x4 seems reasonable...

    Get yourself a valve block rebuild and compressor seal kit from Hard Range first. Put them both in on a lazy Sunday afternoon and see if you can save yourself a few hundred $'s.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    Dodgey workaround update:
    Since I have installed the rocker switch to bypass the relay and manually run the compressor, guess what? I have not needed it once! The EAS is running perfectly all on its own without needing any intervention on my part... i dont get to use my fancy new switch with the offensive blue light...

    Not really knowing much about electrics my gut feeling is that the earthing to the rocker switch might somehow have made up for some faulty wiring closer to the compressor?!?!

    either way, she is running lovely at the moment... Wayneg, when she decides to play funny buggers again I still plan on taking you up on your offer... thanks mate...

    Good to read you got it sorted on your own, nothing like a bit of diy to get your knowledge and confidence up and save a few $$$ in the process.
    I you decide you want to R & R the compressor or Valve block I am only down the road.
