Default Air Zeppelin seat

I have a 13 year old Air Zeppelin seat. How long after you power it up does it take for the compressor to stop running or does it run non-stop?
Thanks

I have the road zepplin. I am not sure if it is the same as yours or not. My compressor doesn't run at all unless I push the button to add air.

I ran my fingers into a table saw a couple years ago and just got back to riding and couldn't remember the compressor running except on demand. It's in the shop now so when I get it back I'll check into it further.
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your hand injury. I wonder if one of the switches could be sticking.
That might cause the pump to run constantly. I don't know if there is access to the switches where you could spray some deoxit in there and try and free them up.

I have a leaky air switch on my RZ seat the compressor ran constantly. I called around to several places that I could find and could not find a replacement for the switch pack.The best I could find was have the dealer send it in for repair read hi dollars. It is a easy to pull out and replace if you could get one.
If there is a known parts vendor please let us know,
In the mean time I put a on/off switch on the seat and turn it on only when it need air. That will work for a work-a-round.
I have a 16 RGU and there is no acc switch like on the older bikes.
