Airmatic Problem?
Took my 2000 s430 to shop and got the control arms replaced, brakes, rotors and alignment. They also stated that I had a blown suspension fuse which was replaced. The bill description states "blown fuse for suspension pump found shart at bracket". Since then the car is not raising or lowering and it seems to be sitting low. I usual drive in normal mode but I tried raising today while driving and while the car was stopped. The message on the dash says ".. car raising... but it never does and the airmatic light just stays on. Is there something that I can reset? They told me that they checked the pump and it was ok. I believe I have the old seal kit but I dont see any hairline cracks.
Thanks for the help.

does it really say "shart"
lol, thats pretty funny.
Anyway, moving right along. Its possible they may be referring the relay. Have someone crouch by the right front wheel, while you hit the raise button, and see if they hear the pump running.

Yes it says "shart" and check this out. I think they backed into something and tried to spray paint the rear bumper!! I am serious. It was late when I picked it up on Friday so I didnt see it until I went to get my saturday car wash and noticed two hair line cracks in the bumper and some paint chipping where it looks like they tried to use touch up paint! I am going to have to go shell on that place on MondaY!!! I cannot hear the pump working. I do not hear the usually air hiss after I turn the car off either.
