The rear end suspension dropped I had the bags and the motor checked and it was fine. I found that the relay switch tripped. How do I get it to reset so that I could get back home to Houston Tx to get the repair needed?

Theres no "tripping" the relay. It is a solid state relay, like a little mini computer. It may NOT work for days. Then all the sudden work for 2. Even if the compressor runs, if the relay is bad, it IS the result of a bad compressor. When these larger compressors start going bad, they draw way too many amps. More amps than that little relay can handle. In other words, although replacing the relay may get it working again, if the compressor isn't replaced also, you'll be replacing the relay again in a short time.

This is the reason we won't sell a relay unless a compressor is purchased at the same time.
