This is a genuine OEM part. The pressure switch is composed of metal, wiring and plastic, and is compatible with several air compressor devices. This item is secured to the engine on top of the tank, regulating the tank pressure and shutting it off when needed. The pressure switch is sold individually. For the repair, you will need a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
Turned the power off going to the compressor, drained the tank, removed the pressure switch cover, disconnected the wires, unhooked the sensor tube, unscrewed the unit from the tank and assembled in reverse.

I disconnected the air intake supply line (copper tube) off the check valve and replaced the old check valve with the new one. Then connected the air supply line to the new check valve.
Disconnected the wires to the pressure switch (make sure you unplug the power before you do anything) unscrew the pressure switch and replace it
... Read morewith the new one. Connect wires. Plug in power.
After installing and running the compressor I noticed the tank pressure was 150 psi! My tank specs states 135 MAX so I pulled the power cord and drained the pressure. Not totally sure how to adjust the pressure as it has two screws! Will try to locate instructions on how to properly adjust down the pressure.
