Seeking a direction. Been having a bit of issue with my front springs deflating beyond the kneeling position but would come up to ride height fairly rapidly. I replaced all the springs & solenoids with Arrnots about 2 years ago along with new sensors all around. On my way home from work, my rear air springs deflated. Home and parked, i could hear some hissing on the rear driver side. Upon inspection no lines broken or bag pierced) i determined it must be the solenoid leaking. The internet recommend #16 orings were too small in cross section and leaked so purchase a new solenoid. While waiting for it to arrive, i decided to replace the front sensors, no better a time to replace them. Much to my surprise my "Check Suspension" warning came on but this time, new to me, with a distinct beep (have seen the warning at times prior but never with beep). i now find that my compressor will not turn on. Thinking it could be my new sensors causing the issue, I replaced them with my old ones. Yippie, no more beep! ****, still no compressor. With all four corners on their bumpers, i went for a drive hoping that at 25-30 mph the compressor would reset and start - Nothing. With engine running I lightly lifted the rear (read here that doing so should reset the compressor) - again Nothing. After my solenoid arrived, i noticed a bit of condensation in the air line so rather than just replacing the dryer i replaced the entire compressor assembly with a new Dorman (hoping that i just had some bad luck with a failed original) - Nope, not that either. Fuse 111 good. Relay at the compressor good. Borrowed a scan tool, I don't find any suspension errors listed (dash warning still there). I'm at my whit's end with this thing. Anyone have any ideas of what to try next (NO, i'd rather not replace my nearly new air suspension). Cannot drive it this way. Hate to have it towed. I'm confident the bags would hold air long enough to get it checked out further, just haven't determined any viable way to open the wheel solenoids to make that happen either!
Any (most any!) suggestions appreciated. I'd really like to fix this myself, just hate the feeling of defeat!!!! It's a 2005 2wd Navigator i cannot afford to replace! A big "Thanks" to those who reply
