What Would Cause a Brake Buddy Supplemental Braking System to Not Build Air Pressure
Updated 12/11/2024 | Published 12/04/2024
Question:
We have a red brake buddy that does not work in cold weather. The compressor just runs continuously and now in warm weather it will not build pressure. What do we need to do to make this work properly?

Hey Doug, so you have a leak that's preventing it from building pressure. It could be a faulty air compressor connection, a leaky air line, a stuck unloader valve, or a problem with the air governor. The Brake Buddy part # HM39524 has a 5 year warranty though so hopefully it's still under that.
