Purpose of Wires on Gauge of Firestone Air Command Compressor for 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
Please help! I bought this system a few years ago or at least it looks just like it for my Ford F150. I removed the system when I sold the truck and I am currently trying to reinstall it in my 2020 Chevrolet 1500. I have one extra black wire coming out of the lightbulb housing that I don’t know what it goes to. I think it is to power the bulb but I’m not sure and even if that’s the case I wouldn’t know where to begin to splice it in to power it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please see photos and if you need more let me know.

Adding a compressor to the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609 on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 was a great idea, and I can help you with what those black wires are for behind the gauge of your compressor, though from the looks of it you have the Firestone Air Command II # F2178.
If you take a look at the linked installation video as well as the linked video install, you can see that one of the two wires is for illuminating the gauge and the other is a ground wire. The installation video is a really good resource which I recommend checking out, and it will be about the last one-third or one-quarter which shows the wiring of the gauge.
