Q: Vehicle won't raise to riding height after rear right suspension bag change

asked by on January 24, 2017

I changed the rear right suspension air bag as my car would lean on the left. After the changing the one suspension bag I started the vehicle but now the compressor would not come on and the dash would state that the car was too low to drive. What can I do to get my vehicle to raise to normal driving height again?

My car has 133000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
