Hi i went 4wding today and to my dismay my arb locker would not start, hot wired the leads and still no go ? any body got any ideas on solution apart from the obvious of buying a new one ?

If its the the compressor you can buy just a new motor for it, is only about $30 from arb.

Thanks pull the tank off today and inside where the crang goes to the electric motor from thew piston is very corroded and rusty so sprayed lanolin in there and tapped then hooked back up and away it went so works for now but may need to buy new electric motor as you suggested guts.

THROW IT IN THE BIN and buy another compressor, I used to have a problem with mine ,ARB replaced it 3 time and rebuild it twice. After that they would not look at it so i threw in the bin.

i have a "bushman max air" and it is awesome ,but my arb pump is for my locker and only 12mths old. I have been told by many people they are pieces of sh*t now i believe them..

I have had my ARB compressor undr the bonnet for around 7 yeras now, it gets covered in mud and water, has been fully submerged a couple of times and hasn't missed a beat. Any compressor that is subjected to this sort of treatment can stop working, anything electrical shouldn't be subjected to this sort of treatment without maintenance.

move it under the passenger seat like mine is

much harder to get drowned in mud and dirt there

ordered a new one (electric motor) today for my arb locker pump just in case it stops again.

So what was the actual motor cost in the end?
Mine is starting to sound worse and worse as it gets used

May be time for a new motor and seals.

I have had 2 ARB compressor, the first had 2 motors replaced and the 2nd was rebuilt, all work done FOC by ARB. I wouldnt say they are the greatest on the market but I cant complain about the back up service.

Cheers
