20 Degree weather, Now have an airmatic issue? Car wont go up.

03 e55 amg.

Lowered on links.

Car stays put, but I noticed in sport mode is feels a little loose after the visit workshop airmatic light popped up.

Car doesn't have any leaking bags. Sits for days and the height doesn't change. Just recently had the cold weather, and the message pops up and the car won't raise up.

I can guess its the pump. Is there a certain way to test the pump? Searched and some people had some stupid fuse/relay issues as well. Just looking for a quick way to test the pump. Not scared of DIY stuff.

Thanks

I had the same issue. It falls back on the pump. I fixed my issue 2 weeks ago by buying a compressor rebuild kit off of ebay for $40, buying a new relay from the dealer, and taking my car to a friend who has a lift, taking the compressor out, installing the rebuild kit and putting it back together with a new relay installed.

You may want to buy the updated metal air line as well if yours hasn't been converted since it's an '03
