Assuming you did replace with the same type of air-shock, it may seem simple, however ensure the hoses are reconnected and air tight. Spray soapy water on the air lines to check for leaks (you'll need to adjust the load to ensure pump function).
Speaking of pump function; check your pump by turning the key to ON. Wait 30 seconds and you should hear the air pump running under the right rear of the car (under the trunk next to the subframe).
If you can not hear the pump running, then check all fuses. If fuses are good and pump does not run, then it may be time for a replacement pump.
No, but you can put the 50-80$ sensor in too correct the system considering you just spent 500-600$ to have the pump replaced. Or you can just put non-air rear shocks on the vehicle although the suspension system will generate a warning message on the dash.
It is located behind the Passenger side rear tire. If jacked up and you climb under from rear bumper look to your left in between gas tank and tail exhaust. Good sized box with wire harness and clip on it. Also if your air ride is not working in some cases the Air shock(s) may be defective the pump will not kick on
Yes that is a easy fix. These air suspensions go in these cars and your driving on the ground bouncing all over the road. To repair the original air suspension would could cost $1000 or more-it's just not worth it. Buy at the autoparts store replacment Coil springs for the rear. Disconnect your rear shocks. It's a good idea to replace these too. Jack up the rear of the car and use jack stands. Remove all of the original air suspension, air bags, linkage, air pump lever and disconnect the lines and wires. Install new coil springs and shocks. That's all there is to it.
If you are going to do the job yourself buy a Haynes repair manual for your car and same year at any auto parts store @ Advanced, Autozone. Read the step by step in the manual. I have used these for 40 years with all my vehicles and saved tons of cash in labor costs.
Good luck and thanks for your question and I hope my suggestions help. burdfrenzy

It is called your Dynaride...it is a pump that supplies air to the rear shocks to keep the vehicle level. Makes sure that there isn't any leaks at the rear shocks, but for the most part this is normal.
