Sounds like you need to check the air-bags for a leak. Unfortunately, the compressor may have wore itself out attempting to continuously provide air to the air-bag and may also need replacing. Just my $0.02 worth.
Check the pump. it is located under the wiper fluid container. Thats where I would start. are you interested in selling it? I'm looking for a black 96 with low miles...
Air ride suspension basically works like this. you have a small air compressor and a sensor that connects between the rear axle and the under body Frame. When this sensor detects a load movement like more or less weight it turns on the air compressor to air up or opens a exhaust valve to let air out. most common problems with this system. broken or disconnected sensor. leak in the air lines between compressor and shocks. or a bad or weak compressor.
Hi:
There is not a compressor for the air bags. They are a self contained unit that inflates in less than half a second if you are involved in an accident. Once they are activated, they must be replaced.
Sounds like the problem is in the air bag suspension, not the compressor. The air bags shouldn't be losing air when the car sits. The compressor adjusts the suspension level according to the load. The air bags have a valve similar to a blow up raft that allows air to pass through both ways. If when the car is running the compressor is constantly running and not turning off, the issue is within the air bags and/or the air line.
most likely someone unhooked it due to some part being bad in the system and even possiable that the air bags have been removed and coil springs installed
You probably have a leak in the system. Did "they" check the lines and air suspension? "They" probably disconnected the compressor to keep it from burning out from overuse. You need to fix the leak before reconnecting or the compressor will wear out very quickly.
