need help with malfunction of air ride message

so i got that malfunction message with a picture of the car and arrow pointing up.It will show up on start and thats it.now everything was fine.I figured i must've just hit a pothole with a high speed or something and some sensor has a lose conectir and shorted or something....i have the car lowered with washers front and back and it looked even gap on tires.but today i just parked it and the front was sticking up.Now i just parked it and my garage is a spiral and i drove up,so i was thinking maybe since the front was up or something the sensors are keeping it up.i left it like that and i'll see if it'll level up until tomorrow or if i take it out if the garage.Can anyone help me with that.Did i blew a airbag?i drive it on 20's its not a lot of tire and on sport 2 i like the stif ride and whe i hit a hole it sure does feel like the car will fall apart.and living in NJ if's impossible not to hit one.Has any of you guys had that happen? when i press the rise mode the car goes up....idk weird.i Figured i post here first before i lose my mind and take it to the dealer ....SMH

thanks man.thank god not all ppl on this forum are like Mr.PUTO who was the first troll on my thread.I got a few pm's from ppl that had the same problem and that helped me sort it out.it scared te crap out of me after I started checking out prices.i think i'll convert to coilivers soon.and be done with it.i know something will go on that airmatic sooner or later.the wire that was broke was cut really close to the conector.so i had to cut some of it to be able to have a long enough wire to solder to.i called mercedes and they told me they don't sell just the pigtail conector by itself but the whole harnes that goes to the airmatic for a special price of 900$ LOL....🙈
