pics of how you wired your valves

i was wondering if anyone has pictures of how they wired the air ride valves under the vehicle, i am running extreme valves, not a manifold, i want to be water tight, think i am going to put a water tight box under the truck with terminal strips inside, well back to the request, any pics would be great. thanks again.

So is your question "how to actually wire" or "what perils await if left to the elements and how do I prevent them"?

Re: pics of how you wired your valves

yes, to both parts. i wanna see how i make a reliable connection under the truck without a corrosion issue down the road. do you ground the valves to the frame and just run power to them or are yall running full grounds to the valves, just seems like a lot of wires to me. if someone can post a simple diagram for me that would be great just to make sure i have not over thought anything, once again any help would br greatly appreciated.

use a weather-pac connector and you won't have to worry about corrosion ... ground the black wire ... run your power to the red wire.

You make that sound so easy. ahah. I grounded my black wires to the frame, in a bare section, and applied power to the red wire and nothing happened. Why is that?

Since you didn't have the battery's negative post connected to the frame there isn't a ground path. (per the other thread)
