My92SVX

Good point moneypit.. How do we go about buying this fitting? What kind of fitting? How do I get this done? Thanks

We may have to take you up on your offer.. I suspect the trouble is the computer or one or more of the solenoids.. Thanks

I have a feeling maybe the bulb is broken or missing then.. I would think I would have noticed an annoying flashing light. I suspect it broke from when the system failed the first time or the previous owner removed. I really can't wait to get back to mess'n with the car.. You all have given me some good leads on where to go from here..

The compressor is new. I know there are some leaks at the connections.. Thinking back..That could have been because the air had nowhere to go. It was leaking out of the connections.

These cars are foreign to me. I have an SVX.. I think they are much simpler. I had no clue these had a light for the air suspension. Where is it located? Who knows what the previous owner did!! Unfortunately I don't have access to the car right now. My friend owns the car and he is 100 miles away. I visit him often. When I do visit,I mess around with the cars. I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks out of state starting next Thursday. So, unfortunately I can't do anything until I get back... However, I've been getting some great info. I will definitely jack up the car and check the computer(under the driver seat) See what happens then.. I will keep everyone updated.. All the input is very much appreciated.. Thanks

Thanks for all the input so far.. Just a recap.. When we have the relay jumped.. The compressor is definitely putting out air. We pulled off the connector right before it goes into the driver side solenoid. I can feel air coming out. However, our main concern is why does the compressor turn on for about a sec and turn off again when we turn the ign on.. Could it be a bad relay? Or could it be the computer? On a side note.. I figure I should also add that after having the compressor on for 10 minutes or so.. I loosened the solenoid on the tank. I managed to loosen it so much that it fell off and there was no pressure in the tank.. Mind you this is after having the compressor running for about 10 minutes.. Is the compressor supposed to inflate the struts first? Before pressurizing the tank? I've checked the front strut.. They look great. No rust anywhere.. This car came from NC. The only rust I've seen on this car is surface rust on places where some of the paint has chipped off. Also.. When I had the compressor on. I can't hear any obvious leaks. I have a feeling one of the problems is the solenoids.. I followed the directions on how to check the solenoids. I connected them directly to the battery. I read that they are supposed to make a clicking sound.. I don't hear cra*.. To go one step further. I took one apart. It has a spring with a piston.. When I connected it to the battery. The piston barely moved. Kind of just barely moved. Nothing too exciting. Anyhow.. As mentioned.. I've done a few things. I do think we have several issues.. Main thing we are trying to concentrate on is why the compressor only stays on for about a sec and turns back off when the ign is turn on. Mind you this is without any modifications.. Sorry for being so long winded.. Just trying to be as specific as I can so I can get the HELP.. Thanks

I've been doing some searches.. Can't find an answer.. So.. We bought an 88 XT6 as a project.. Friend loves these cars. We bought it with a flat suspension. After we brought it home. We figured out the the compressor was shot. So, he bought a new one. Now, after installing it. It turns on for a second if that and turns right back off. If we jump the relay. It will stay on for as long as we want. However, we don't want to burn the compressor. So. Now we are trying to figure out where to go next.. What is causing the compressor to turn off after just about 1 second after turning the ign switch on? I've read that there is a computer for the air ride. Could that be the problem? Or could it be the relay itself? As a side note.. Even with the compressor running for about 10 minutes as we were testing the other components.. We can't manage to get the tank to fill with air. And we can't get the struts to get any air either. When we put a positive and negative charge on the solenoids. we are not getting a click as others have mentioned. I think we have several issues with the suspension. We opened the old compressor. Looked like it was toast.. Car came from NC. Has no rust. I checked the bags. They look great with no rust. Thanks for any help you experts can provide.. As a last resort. We do have another 88XT FWD with coil suspension. However, we really want to save the air ride. Car only has 111,000 miles.. Thanks again..
