That sounds like the air pump for the leveling struts that probably were on the car if it had an upscale package as a Limited.

Does it have wires that go to a small box with an arm connected to a rod that connects to the arm that moves up and down with the wheel? That would be the sensor that measures the height of the rear of the car.

Do your struts have connections near the top on the inside area for a small air line?
