Hey there folks...recently the red light for my air suspension came on...and over the next while i noticed the left hand side of the van slowly go down...the compressor come on briefly for like a second then stopped...it did this once or twice over the next week or so...
I took it to the local garage who told me it needed a new compressor and new module (from under jack beside rear right light cluster) from mercedes we were quoted £1200 for these 2 parts. I managed to get two second hand parts and fitted them...only to find it did not solve the problem...I tested both the old and newer compressors and these both worked...
When changing the compressor i also changed over the other boxes that splits the air for left and right airbag...the guy i bought these from assures me that all the parts worked when he took them off his van
I only have 9v at the plug going onto the compressor, which i thought was strange...is this where i have the problem...I cant find any other fuses or relays, but thought if something was blown i wouldnt be getting any voltage at all...?
I have a red light at the switch in the boot, but nothing happens when i press it
Is the fault coming from the module...or some other place...?
Ive considered swapping out to springs but thought id need shock absorbers to go with it, but couldnt see any fixings for them...
Any help greatly appreciated...im a wheelchair user and missing the use of the van and side lift
Thanks
I see mentions of STAR machines...would this be needed to initiate the system since dead flat...and is that a Mercedes job or local garages have such tools?
