    There's another thread about auto v air lockers but like you said thats a highjack lol.

    I would've thought the compressor topping up the pressure in the line only running for 10 - 30 seconds would have less current draw than a solenoid constantly engaged ?? Not to mention as you did earlier wire deterioration from the oxygen in the copper oxidizing were you would need some sort of flux to clean it off so you can make a good contact point to engage the locker again if the wire broke unless you used oxygen free copper?? But that would be going off subject abit. Couldn't a broken live wire also earth out and make a spark and start a fire if its un noticed unlike if you ruptured an air line you'd hear the compressor buzzing away ??? Sorry i'm going off subject now....... Lol
