Not a good idea. Special hand pump required. See your local dealer.
Air ride compressor, air suspension compressor, and air pump are the names used for the same device. They are used to pump up the air suspension.
no you do not yo may have to bleed out all the air
I had a friend replace the air suspension compressor pump with a used one that I bought on ebay. The air compressor pump is located under the windshied washer fluid container. You have to take a cover plate off to get to it or even see it. We discovered that the top of the air suspension compressor pump, where the air hose goes into it, screws off with a crescent wrench. So we just left the hose attached to the top of the pump and replaced the body of the the pump. I have no idea how you would just replace the hose.
Either the air suspension relay that is behind the passenger side wheel well or the compressor.
Not that I know of. Yes see answer posted by "Lincolnator" on how to do this.
air suspension switch in trunk. compressor under hood
there are several causes to the air pump. the first and most obvious is the air pump (compressor) itself. if you do not hear the compressor pumping air or if you do not feel the slight vibration of the compressor when you put your car into drive, then it's probably the compressor that has gone bad. if the compressor is coming on and you do not hear any air leaking, then your problem could be the height adjuster, located on the suspension bags themselves. Bronconvict: another possibility includes the compressor relay switch. This switch controlls the power to the air bag suspension compressor. This switch is known for burning out when the suspension compressor is working too hard. This can also be caused by a bad/corroded GEM module (due to notorious winshield leak). i had to replace "height sensor" on driver side . part was $200.
The air pump (compressor) is located on the driver side fender underneath the air filter box. Once you remove the air filter box, you will have to remove the compressor bolts from inside the wheel well.
The pump is in a compartment below the air filter. I have heard that the pump usually goes out because the air bags or lines are leaking.
The air suspension switch is behind an access panel , in the cargo area , on the drivers side near the liftgate ( the fuel pump inertia / shut off switch is also there )
No it should not. They have a ride height switch, which cycles the compressor. You probably have an air leak in the system.
It is an air pump.
