Does anyone know the compressor location and a way to test operation? I also found the level control sensor above the rear axle was damaged, would this cause the compressor failure?
Help!!:confused:

The pump is located below the air filter box. I don't know how to test it.
I had to replace the pump along with the sensor not long ago. Very expensive.
Yes the sensor would cause the pump not to work.
My air pump sounded slow and weak for a while before it finally stopped. I knew it was coming.

your compressor is under your windshield washer fluid res. im not sure how to test it other than unplugging it and connecting it directly to the battery with speaker wire to se if it comes on, but if your level control is shot then it may not be kicking the compressor on.....but im sure u already knew that.

Which is right next to the air filter box. Both would have to be removed to get to it.

Do a search,.... someone did a good writeup on fixing it before it breaks.
