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.

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.

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.

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.
