would help if you can tell us which air ride you exactly are fitting, what is IT that you are connecting to the fuse box.

Sorry was at like 7 this morning. Got airride v2 but was wondering what fuse it goes to. At the moment every now and then my car must sort off trip out or reset it's self as the clock has been changed. There are lights on my dash that stay on for like 15/20 minutes. The traction control light the steering wheel light and another light comes on. Then after 15/20 they clear. Just wondering wether it's been put to the right fuse

Fused live from the battery to the boot, then a off live to a relay to turn it on would be the best option. Then your not hacking up your fuse box.

There's a spare 12v ignition live in the fuse box. Or are you talking about the main power feed? As already said above, that should be fused straight from the battery.

There is 1 from the battery then one what goes to the fuse. Should it be a separate 1 on the fuse.

You need to look at your wiring diagrams.

The compressors use a huge ammount of power.

When ever I've done my installs I run a 0awg cable from the battery to a split terminal. Fused to about 60/8/amp. Then another feed from the iggnition

I run relays off these so the relay can be individually fused and take the brunt of the power. Not the cars harness and components.

If your not sure give it to some one who can, or it's a fire waiting to happen imo
