Yet another Airmatic Issue
So last night I go to my car and the front suspension looks great (read almost sitting on tires). I start her up and the red screen reads. 'Stop, car too low!' Niether the Raise Car nor Airmatic buttons do anything besides light up, the car won't raise. I did some research and it looks like it could be:
1. Compressor
2. Relay
3. Strut leaks
I checked for any kind of cracks on the tops of the struts but didn't see anything.
I guess Chrysler Warranty is going to hate me once again.
Any thoughts as to which of the above mentioned problems it might be?
Regards

Thanks for the replies 
Here is an update. I went to the garage this morning and she is sitting really low on the front axle, so it IS the whole front end and not one side. I started her up and his the raise car button and it came up about 1/2" but wouldn't raise any further. It gets to about half its' normal hieght and that's it.
If the relay is shot would it do that? Am I wrong in assuming that since it did lift a little the compressor is working?
Thanks for the help guys

im willing to bet the airmatic pump is shot, or the 40 amp fuse is blown.
cant remember off the top of my head, but i believe its located in the front sam, take a peek and see if its blown. there should only be 1 or 2 located in the front sam. if it is blown, replace all three components.
i can give better relay and fuse locations tomorrow.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I wish this car had a steel suspension, may have to do that conversion soon 
Anything you can fire my way will be extremely helpful. Thanks again!
