I reached out to my contact at firestone to confirm a few things. If the compressor is running, it should be filling the bags. The compressor is either going to build air pressure, or not build pressure. So if it is running when the bags are full, we likely have a problem somewhere. We would have you start by doing a soap test and checking for leaks. An air leak would cause the compressor to not read the correct PSI and keep running. If you can find and eliminate the leak it should solve the issue. If no leaks can be found and the issue persists, please reach out to Firestone directly for a warranty claim.
