1997 Ford Explorer ARC Problems
Can anyone provide me with or guide me in the right direction for the wiring diagram for the compressor for the AIR RIDE system. Mine has been disconnected and Im not sure what goes where. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

The ARC system wiring diagram takes up 5 pages in the 97 Explorer EVTM. Lots of sensors/solenoids/relays/actuators/fuses.
So i'm not surprised that the previous owner disabled it.
The only fuse thats wired only to the ARC is under the hood in the power dist. box, fuse 12/50 amp maxi. It's wired to the ARC control relay. Have you checked it?
As for the compressor, theres a 4 wire connector that plugs in to it. pink, purple/orange stripe, black & gray.
Helminc.com should have the 97 Explorer electrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual for around 30 bucks.
At todays exchange rates, i think thats around 50 cents. LOL

Thanks for that ARC. The trouble I've got is that I cant see where the wires go as I have an LPG tank where my spare wheel used to be. Theres also a connector with a plastic tube hanging down and I cant see where this goes either. If I could get hold of a diagram of the ARC compressor, it might show me what goes where. I've tried Helmin but as im from the UK it wont let me purchase anything. So if anyone out there can help I would be much appreciated.
