Default Train horn help

Okay so I just finished installing an air compressor, tank, and horn. I can't get the compressor to even come on. Anyone have any ideas? I followed the wiring diagram to a tee

1. You wired it wrong
2. Bad relay
3. Blown fuse
4. Bad pressure switch
4. Bad compressor

Just run a temporary hot wire from the battery to the compressor and take the ground to frame,etc. Should work direct. If not, bad compressor.

are you a child? what benefit do you see with a train horn other than to scare the crap out of people i used an air horn on my s2k only because the stock horn was too weak but a train horn is just excessive and i am pretty sure illegal in most areas

Y'all, if you don't have help to give then move along. OP was not asking for your opinions on the train horn, and I'm sure he doesn't care. He's asking for help wiring a compressor, so provide help if you can or move on. There's no reason to berate someone on the internet just because they're doing something that you wouldn't do.

OP, are you sure you have it properly grounded? Without a good ground it won't even attempt to turn on.
