Compair c17 compressor

[super4]

I have a compair c17 road compressor with a Deutz F2L. It won't start, it just cuts dead the dash lights when trying to start it. Any ideas where to start looking? I suspect it's a sensor but not sure which one and where? TIA

From your symptoms id suggest looking at battery, leads and earth first, then the starter. Sounds like you have bad connections or flat battery.

I had the starter refurbished and put on a new battery. It did initially turn over but now not anything.

Not familiar with the compressor, but your symptoms sound electrical to me. Dash lights going off when attempting to crank engine indicates all power available is being drawn by the starter, which points at not enough power as bad connection / bad earth etc or flat battery. That or the engine is locked solid, which unlikely if it was running fine before.

Try putting power directly to starter, if it cranks over its electrical issue.


Has it got an isolation switch? Seen few of them go bad, try by-passing it
