2015 E63 AMG S
2015 E63 AMGs air suspension issue - please help!
So I have a 2015 E63 AMG-S 22k miles. Yesterday the malfunction yellow light came on of the car with the up arrow inside it. I noticed that both back wheels are sitting as low (the rear passenger side is really low) and I do not hear the compressor working at all when I walk near the car and unlock it etc. like normal. Any chance it's just the fuse or do you all think it's prob the compressor that's dead? I was slowly going over some speed bumps yesterday when the light came on and then when getting home noticed how low the car was in the rear.
I am a reasonably competent DIY guy but I doubt replacing the compressor is something I would be able to do myself. I live in South Florida and the prices shops here charge are crazy. Any ideas or things I could trouble shoot outside of taking it in. Regardless whats wrong I am sure they will tell me its something major and want thousands. Would like to see if I can first do some basic trouble shooting myself. Both sides on the rear are very low in just the back, it happened really sudden and I don't hear the compressor at all when I get to the car with the key or turn it off etc. like I normally would. Any advice and help would be really appreciated. I feel like I had a lot of warranty work on the aromatic suspension for stuff like an airbag etc. when it was under warranty. This would not be so bad if this same week one of my house's AC units died and Ill be spending $5k to replace that. When it rains it pours..... Thanks in advance for any assistance and sorry if this has been covered before.

There are several dozen airmatic posts on here. Search and you will find them all with several describing your situation. Unfortunately, they all are basically inconclusive and posters rarely return with their repair synopsis. The last thing I would do is replace the compressor without knowing it failed. There are so many parts to that system it could be anything from levelers to the lines, air springs themselves, valve blocks, etc. I wish you luck.
