The low air pressure light in out coach has never worked. I was hoping to diagnose the issue, but I can't locate the switch. The bulb checks as good.

Any hints where to look? I can't find an empty air connection or a pair of wires matching the colors....

Thanks

Matt

Mine is under the compressor mounted to the radiator support. It's the same switch the compressor uses.

Mine powers the light off the compressor feed... it's treally a 'compressor running' light.

On my 1974 GMC 26ft the low air light switch is on the air tank, under the battery tray.

Mine does not even have a light bulb in it but I "think" it is simply a light to indicate when the compressor is running. I also think It is wired to the air pressure switch switch that turns on the compressor.

my heavily modified 76 Royale has a low pressure switch on the side of the tank which is on the front right under the driver. This is separate from the compressor switch thats on the front of the tank

Don't know about 23' 73s, but in GMC fitted ElectroLevel coaches, there was generally no wire run to the low air light. Many of us used the extra contacts on the Pressure switch and ran a wire to the light cluster to let us know if the compressor was running. My 77 Eleganza as delivered had no wire to the switch but had a bulb in the telltale cluster.
