HAVING AIRMATIC ISSUES PLEASE HELP!!

Please help me find the relay and fuse associated with the airmatic system. I checked pg 343-344 of the manual and nothing is there. I also checked the vehicle also nothing. Of course the dealer is no help. Also where exactly should I purchase the relay and fuse from? PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP! Thanks guys!

The first place to look would be the encyclopedia section at the top of this forum. There's all sorts of information there related to the airmatic system. This info will help you now and in the future.

Well, a couple of days ago the airmatics start working again, except they are off and on. One start up they work with no error code the next they don't work and the error msg congress back on. While it's really cold, below 32 they barely come on. Above that they work more. They even rose up with the error msg once.

You have a leak, it happens when it gets freezing, you need to find the shock and replace it. Same thing happen to me. 2nd time I found it early, first time, I ended up burning out the pump and spent even more.

So for sure I have a leak even though my car is the same height for weeks at a time with no visible change in ride height?

No, doesn't sound like it to me.


If I understand what you are saying, the system works fine some times, and the compressor simply doesn't turn on at other times. If that is what you are saying, my first suspicion would be the Airmatic relay.
