Theres a couple threads on here about the air suspension. You can do a self check on the bags by pumping them up with a pancake compressor, turning off the switch in the trunk, and seeing if you lose height after letting the car sit overnight...the thread explains it greater detail

Sounds like a personal problem................. :D

Try starting the car then turning it off. That should signal the pump to activate. Very common for the bags to deflate over time.

When you start the car and the rear is low, the sensor will activate the compressor to restore proper ride height to the rear. When you shut the vehicle and exit the car, the LCM will trigger the compressor to release some air from the bags so they aren't overinflated once people exit the car.

Look at your compressor and see if its covered in oxidation and if their may have been water intrusion. They lock up from oxidation if water gets into the motor but they can usually be saved. The pan it sits in doesn't drain properly and it will sit in water causing this problem, drill some holes in the plastic pan so it drains, if the compressor is bad, you can clean the armature and relube everything and it will work fine. I would recommend sealing it and painting the outside to keep the water at bay... I've done a few rebuilds for members here, not hard to do.

I have the air bags and compressor off my 2003 Marauder. I will make ya a deal on all of it. All parts are guaranteed to be in good working order.
I always felt the compressor was a little noisy but always worked fine. Let me know.
