Q: Air suspension problem

asked by on February 19, 2016

The air suspension isn't working.

This can be the result of many different situations. If the vehicle is sitting very low, one of the air bags may be leaking air. The pump runs on a fused circuit and the pump can short out or a fuse can pop. I recommend having an experienced technician inspect the suspension system to pinpoint the fault and recommend a repair.
