Help please !!!Compressor
If compressor is not letting air out is there any way to fix that or do you have to replace compressor. My rear shocks are staying pumped up. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Help please !!!Compressor
The most common cause for that problem is the ride height sensor not working properly. I'd try replacing that first.

Re: Help please !!!Compressor
Could there be a fuse dedicated to the air-pressure-release mechanism?

Fuse under rear seat. Look in owners manual to see what number. Thats what I take out after shocks are aired up at the dragstrip, so they dont bleed down.

I doubt it. It's all part of the compressor.

Re: Help please !!!Compressor
I doubt there is a separate fuse just for the air release mechanism on the compressor. I guess it is possible, but unlikely.

Re: Help please !!!Compressor
The ELC trick I did involved disconnecting the arm, and fooling it into not releasing the air by letting it "spring" all the way up, making it think the suspension was bottomed out. Never pulled a fuse.
