2011 E550 Airmatic issue
Front driver doesn't raise or drop (stays in sport level). Front & rear passenger doesn't raise or drop (stays in comfort level). Only the rear driver side adjusts when starting the car & selecting between sport & comfort. I have no fault indications on my dash so I'm a bit lost...has anyone ran across this similar issue?
Searched through the forums with no success...
Thanks!

Out Of Control!!
You can keep guessing and in a couple of months hit on the fault or you can call around and ask if they can read the MB chassis faults, thereby at least defining the problem, then finding the tools you can take a couple of months to fix.

What measurements are you getting at each wheel well? I keep mine in comfort and in the garage I measure about 26.25 to 26.5 inches from ground to highest part of wheel well using a basic tape measure. I haven't tried measuring in other modes yet.

On mine, the whole passenger side is lower by 5/8 inch, front and back. Doesn't show any messages yet. I've tried raising, lowering, driving in Airmatic sport, it just holds the same height difference regardless. Inspected the back level sensors, they seem ok, nothing bent or broken, they move freely within the knuckle joints.
I haven't used a diagnose tool yet, since I don't own one, and there are no shops close by me which are willing to look at euro cars.
I noticed it after I unplugged the negative battery terminal when I was installing a 12v plug in the armrest console.
