Weird... I ordered from Amazon and had it in 4 days (over a weekend). Actually... I ordered it just now because others mentioned having issues getting one... I saw it and pulled the trigger.
Slight thread derailment here: could you guys with the single ARB setup in the plastic box tell me if you get a blue light when you hook it up to power the way the instructions describe? Mine works fine but there is no light as described. No big deal but just curious.
If you're talking about the light under the on/off switch, IIRC last time I used it, the light doesn't come on when I hook it up to my battery, but it does come on when I switch on the compressor and it's pumping air.
Huh... didn't even notice when I tried it out, but I believe you are supposed to have an on light, yes. I'll try to remember to hook it up tomorrow and see... stay tuned.
Just checked (finally)... there are TWO lights under the switch. When powered but OFF (connected to the battery), there is a light at the top of the switch that comes on. When the switch is turned ON, then both lights are on.
Thank you! That’s the way I thought it should work. My lights don’t seem to work correctly but everything else does so I don’t think It’s worth worrying about.
I don't have it hard mounted. Use it as advertised like the photo by taking it out, popping the hood, and hooking to battery terminals, then store it under the backseat after use. It comes with it's own storage bag which makes it even more convenient to manage the cable and air hose.
The idea of using the 7-pin trailer outlet power for the portable compressor caught my fancy... I will be testing that option this week when I can get a hold of a 7 pin plug. As I stated in another thread, I got myself annoyed at having to deal with popping the hood exactly ONCE, and am going to see if that clever alternative works with the ARB portable.
