I have it

double check the polarity of the unit with a volt meter---- red>>>positive~~~~~~black>>>negative another thought---after you got your vehicle running did you have any issues later----such as batt going dead again---wipers won't work---lites dim--- etc etc----there a lot of variables here so this isn't going to be easy----get back to me with some answers if you please----it's the best I can do for now

There reasons to why your battery isnt charging, it could be either the battery is old and has become bad or it has low liquid levels in it.

There is a male 120V plug on it that you connect an extension cord to.

for heavy machinery cars etc. luckily there are many websites that can help you repair for eg site like reliable-store is very active in this.. instant help, emails and all that's fantastic tried and tested !

It is not designed for this style application. You can jump start the car with it and use the car to charge the battery. Clean battery posts first and add distilled water to battery if needed.

is the charger working?

Not sure what the question is. These units have a sealed gel cell battery that can be replaced (Have done that) and they do fail after several years. Is yours charged? https://www.stanleytools.com/products/automotive-tools/other-tools/power-station/500-instant-1000-peak-amp-jump-starter-with-compressor/j5c09 BE sure last connection when jumping is negative and body to body - away from battery

It's hard to say with the limited information. Does the hose have any leaks? I would open the case up and look to see if the air hose or fittings were compromised.

Open up the case and look inside. A wire may have come off. i had a brand new compressor that wouldn't power on. A wire was not connected. After reconnecting and a positive testing I put it back together. It ran for five minutes and stopped. It turns out the wire was too short (factory install) and came disconnected each time the compressor was turned on due to the vibration. I rerouted the wire so it wasn't so tight. Problem solved.

Use a volt meter

Use a voltage meter to see if it has 12-13 volts

When you open these things up you with likely see a 12v power supply, a circuit board and a battery. If it was working properly the last time you used it then it is likely the battery. You should be able to pick up the battery online. There should be a stamp on it to tell you what you need. It wouldn't hurt to test the power supply independently to see if it is supplying the proper voltage since you have the case open.

It looks like it's just a single screw in the centre at the back that also attaches the visor clip. The panel should easily come off showing the two type 2016 batteries at the bottom right hand corner. I will try to attach a screen shot.

You need to open the casing to access th inside components. Remove the screws on the backside, cut any stickers or labels that cover the seam. You will see a 12v voltage converter mounted to the back cover. Test it to ensure it is working properly. Is it putting out the proper voltage? If it is then check the battery to see if it has proper voltage or can hold a charge. These are the two most common problems and can be easily replaced if defective. The circuit board is less common.

You will likely have to open up the case to look inside. The main components will be a circuit board, a 12v power supply, a 12v air pump and a 12v rechargeable battery. It sounds like a loose connection on the air compressor pump. When you turn it on it normally vibrates and is loud. This may be enough to shake loose a wire connection. If so it should be an easy fix to crimp or solder.

Remove all the recessed screws and it pulls apart.
