pneumatic suspention is a mother#!*r

[MOTOR-hed]

What led up to this problem is most likly my own stupidity,...........
In any case,the air suspention on the front end of my subie is deflated and will not inflate again.
I have already checked th' fuses,replaced the relay,dismantled the front end to exanime the compressor,repaired afew hose leaks,.........
And I'll be damned if it still dosen't look like a flip'n lowrider,and rides like a stagecoach on a trampoleen.
oh yeah,...the height button stays blinking and before i changed the relay,I jammed the old one closed for a few seconds,and the compressor works fine......I am at a loss of ideas.
please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps. i'll be on line monitoring any reply,thank you

My 92 Legacy wagon had the air suspension when I bought it. I traced a leak to one of the air bags in a strut. Replacement cost was a bit much ($1200? for each). Figuring that the others could go at any time, I opted for the long term swap to standard suspension.

I found used struts at www.car-part.com (3 at one yard, the 4th at another) and had them shipped to me. Bought new KYB strut inserts from Tire Rack and had them shipped to me as well. Then came the work of swapping things. I justified buying a Craftsman Electric Impact Wrench as I was going to do the work myself. The EIW was a great help with the rusty bolts and nuts! I'm thinking I did the job for around $600.

Where is the compressor? Where is the controller? I've removed some of the airlines etc, but it'd be great if I could set the compressor up with a switch and an end for tire inflation.
