40 amp large fuse in box beside the master cylinder (just in front of windshield driver side). I had this blow twice last summer, changed fuse and nothing wrong since...not sure why.

really!? ok ....well tried that! it isn't that. The fuse is fine but no response from the pump. Does anyone know all associated fuse and relay locations that have something to do with the pump/suspension? Im really trying to avoid taking it back to the shop as that this same thing happened before and they told me it was just "SOME WIRES" with really no other explaination and was charged 1k! I think they replaced a fuse or two and was back up and running..car took less than a day for repairs..i can change my own fuses for free!

physically check the airmatic strut and see if the plastic cover of the strut have been blown open from the bottom then you have to replace the strut, no matter how much the pump pushes air into your strut it will just go out, the electric air pump have an automatic setting which will shut off after a few seconds in order to protect the components. The picture is a front strut, just to illustrate to you what to look for on your rear strut.

Thanx Cool Lagoon and everyone else! But nope that wasn't it. Turned out to be a bad pump, or should I say a still good working pump, with burnt corroded terminals. The plug must have gotten too hot and melted the connecter. I had to replace the pump and connector and the car raised back to its height!

Thanks, got the same malfunction message and the car did not rise as usual. Checked the fuse and the relay, ended up being the relay in my case. Replaced, and back to normal.
