Quick Question on AIR SUSPENSION

[5arnold]

My AIR SUSPENSION LIGHT has been on for about 5 months never got lowered stayed at the same height all the time.Took my car to dealer for check up why my steering wheel gets stiff once in a while and for the rear suspension and AC.They told me the compressor is bad & my module behind the glove box as well.They want 1,200 to fix the problem but i can't spend that kind of money at this time.I brought my car home tested the compressor & it works perfect!So my question is if i do the manual switch wiring can i raise it back up the idiots at dealer took all my air out & i'm not happy :mad2:at all!! Anything will help!:help:THANKS!

Yes you can raise it up manually. It will ride a lot better also

Basic steps;

remove air inlet/air cleaner
locate air compressor under the pump
remove pressure line (it is a press fit connector)
verify air suspension switch in trunk is on
Attach remote pressure source to pressure line
Have helper turn key to on, this should open solenoids to allow air into rear airbag system
inflate from remote air source to correct height
turn air suspension switch off

If your module is bad this may not work.

I had to remove and replace a bad compressor a month ago.

my thread

give it a read there is a link to fixing the module I think

I have an extra control module if you want to try that??

It's possible to bypass the module and control inflation/deflation of the air springs manually. You might want to do this until you can source a replacement module.
