Hello, Is the four prong a relay? Maybe says Bosch on it. If it is a relay it would be black with numbers on top showing a schematic off how it should be wired. Is it one of those little compresore the size of a soda can? if so it would have a postive terminal and a ground terminal on it. ground the one side and you could use a single pole switch spring loaded momentary to send power to compressor to pump. You could do away with the relay. just use correct fuse rating for compressor.
Good Luck, John |

Hello, Flip that compressor over there should be two terminals marked +and -. The negative is your ground. The other is 12 volts posistive. Run wire from 12volt source fused. Then run wire from fuse holder to switch then from other side of switch to positive power side of compressor. go to auto suply store to get a horn button or momentary rocker switch. what ever you choose for you application. It should be a relatively easy thing to do.
Good Luck, John |

Hello, Ok run a fused wire from the battery to one side of the switch. then out of second terminal on switch run wire to the compressor.. And the other wire on the compressor will be your ground.
