Compressor went out, replaced and car still will not rise

My compressor continued to run after I shut the car down. It ran for a while and finally had a horrible smell and stop. I read online, compressor. I ordered the compressor and replaced. The car still will not rise. I don't know the exact relay but i have swapped and replace many in the box. Which relay is for the compressor. Will a relay from Autozone/part store work? What's my next step.

Hey Biff, you made one fatal mistake---you did not get the car diagnosed---now you are guessing and expensive---find an indy with factory or equal software and do the job correctly!!

agreed. Get the diagnostic done, then do the actual repalcement of the parts yourself.

As the two gentlemen above stated, put it on a diagnostic system. This is a complicated distributed digital control system. If the relay wasn't locked in the "on" position, you have problems elsewhere.

Fuse and relay in attached snip.

Internet searches can be your friend. Spend a week or two searching for anything and everything about your car and you will end up with a plethora of reference information.

My mechanic is booked until 12/19/2016, therefore I am trying to do all I can before that time. I have found the 40 AMP Fuse F61 is not getting any current. Anyone ever had this issue?

so...you've replaced your compressor and relay. did you determine if you have a leak anywhere which caused your compressor to stay on?

without star diagnosis nobody here can tell you much. for my situation though, my airmatic computer failed due to broken ecu pin. the pin broke on its own and was never touched prior. it took me 6 months to figure this out as the connector looked perfect and the break was inside the connector.
