    I have received infractions for lots of reasons, for not fully understanding the forum rules, for trying to help a friend and for not playing well with others. Some infractions were deserved, some were questionable and some were misplaced. But I do think it help keep thing civil.

    Low air pressure warning buzzer drives me crazy.

    Tie6044 are you recommending to shut the main or top switch off?! If so that would disconnect the batteries from the electrical system, which will leave the rest of the electrical system open to spikes in power. That is the main cause of ABS system burnouts.
