Hello all

Can anyone tell me where the location of the relay for the air suspension is as having issues as in stopped working, been told it is near the compressor which i beleive is behind the OSF wheel arch panel.

Thanks

Are you not getting power to the compressor then Chris? 
Kind regards,

Thanks for reply magnet

Not sure as its at pals garage, i replaced nearside front airbag, replaced both front residuel valves, was working ok but orange light started to flash, now jack mode is greyed out in on position so cannot alter height, orange light permanently on now, mechanic seems to think relay is burnt out but cannot find it hence this post.

Many thanks Chris. ‘Mechanic seems to think relay is burnt out’ doesn’t instil that much confidence in reality. It’s either getting a confirmed 12v supply to the compressor, or it’s not - it has to be checked. Again, if he’s asking where the relay is then he hasn’t got access to the data systems normally associated with the motortrade. Having said that, it may well tell you in your handbook, where it shows the fuse positions and what they feed - worth looking there.

In my experience, many air suspension issues are associated with compressor problems - mainly failing piston ring. These can be obtained from Bagpiping Andy ( on EBay) - he is a great source of information. If your mechanic suggests replacing the compressor with one from our Far Eastern friends then beware - they may ( in caps) not last the guarantee, but they will be cheaper to buy once! Again Andy should advise - if the issue turns out to be compressor associated. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
