Lightbulb Maybe a fix for failing air ride compressors

After hearing and reading about the problems several members have had with dieing air ride compressors there is a possability that this may help you out in the future.

When I changed my Air box to the K&N cold air intake I noticed a lot of water build up in the plastic box area where the air compressor sit's.

I took a small whole saw and drilled a drain hole for it in the deepest area of the plastic box.

On my old 1993 Grand marquies I had the compressor never died nor had a problem so I don't see why ours should now.

Might be something to look into guys and gals?

Kind of like the flapper getting jamed up with leaves and stuff in the cowel and a build up of water and mud around the wiper motor type of problem. I removed that rubber flapper so it could not happen again when I had it off for the cam cover work.
