however if the compressor isnt kicking in at all, then it sounds like your compressor has bitten the dust. if your air bags are not bad then DO NOT drive the car like that too much because you will stress the bags too much and they will crack and then you are talking major bucks (about $200 a bag). also, turn the switch OFF in the trunk until the problem is resolved. and just to give you a heads up, when i had my compressor replaced, i ended up paying about $300 just for the compressor.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this one, but I have a different issue with air suspension on 1992 TC, & you seem to very knowledgeable...long story short, car riding low with idiot light on, found blown fuse & replaced, rear raised up, idiot light off...lasted a day or 2, then back to idiot light on, & rear back to low...someone in another post suggested replacing the fuse again, and turning trunk switch off when car is raised to maintain pressure....your thoughts?
Thanx, Gary
