Air suspension problem

Hello ,
I am a new member and i own two benz at the moment.
GL 450 and E 320 .
Best regards to all
However i am experiencing the air pump problem at the moment with my GL.Compressor was working a litle weird in a past month, and i was trying to replace the pump relay.I wasn't aware that they gived me wrong one and wasn't able to start the car .After the problem I inserted the old one and car started without any problems.
At the moment When conpressor pump is engaged car shoots off.
if i disconect the the tin grey and white wire from the compressor car is working properly.
i ordered the new Mercedes air compressor and I also ordered the new fuse box block.
However if anyone had a similar experience please for the suggestions.

when you say car shoots off do you mean the car physically moves? or the fuse blows?

Thank you so much for your time ,
Actually engine just shut off . All fuses are ok . Wnen i pull out the fuse 32 engine works properly. When i insert the fuse 32 and conect white and Gray wires to the compressor car starts just normally. After that i hear compressor engagement and engine shuts off.
The main conector is conected all of the time .I did test air pump relay and relay is not working properly. I ordered new pump ,strting relay and air compressor relay.
i hope this will solve the problem.
Any other thoughts?

I would suggest you scan the codes - I bought a fairly cheap AUTEL scanner off ebay - it only came with Mercedes software (I can buy other manufacturers in the future) It might give you further guidance in where the problem actually lies - I have had air suspension problems but in both cases was leaking bags

Thank you
I agree
i am actually going to order MB 5C .
i have a few scanners but non of them can really do the job precisely. I didn't have to many problems in the past but this is the time to invest in 5C.
