AIRMATIC!! NEW parts, still no rise! what now?
So I replaced the front 2 struts, new compressor and relay....STILL NO RISE!
Now the warning light says " Airmatic Visit Workshop". Before I replaced everything that warning was not on just the"Car Too Low" one.

Check the valve block at the right front for any leaks.. Hopefully you install reputable brand for the air struts like Arnott or oem... I witness some off brand from Amazon not fill up due the owner being cash strapped but end up getting the arnotts which worked right away... Also if you don't hear the compressor try clearing the fault code...

I put the new valve in since it came it anyway and still no luck. Now I don't believe I even hear the pump coming on. Do I need to reprogram anything with the STAR software? Ive seen on the forum where ppl reprogrammed the ECU themselves, is that the same thing?

If you can't hear the pump then it may be the relay but you stated you put in a new one? Is it only the front that won't move up? Try disconnecting the battery negative for a while then start over.
I think you have covered the normal problem areas in the system. See attachment for the system components.
My guess is something very simple but what??
Good Luck,
Bob
