Car not lowering

Hey guys, seeing if I can get some help. So I had the strut/airbag issue like everyone else.

I replaced the front struts and control arms because they were bad.

After replacing, the right side would not go up. I would get compressor cooling down. Sesrching, revealed it would be a bad compressor.

So I bought one and just replaced the old one. Turned on the car and compressor runs and the car lifts now!!

Yes!!? No... Now when I try to lower the car, it's stuck on the max height.

I drove it around for a few miles hoping it will adjust itself and it has not. Should it just leave it overnight to see if it lowers itself?

So you hit the raise button and the car didn't lower when you pressed it again?

Yeah, you press it and it just stays on car lowering and nothing happens.

Yup make sure the height level sensors have free movement and or aren't broken bent etc... I'm sure that's where your problem is

This morning, went out and the rear was slammed... luckily i order rear airbags just in case this would happen(ordered the front and rear at the same time).

Changed out and its all good now...
