What if air suspension pump comes on but never rises?

If the air suspension pump comes on but the vehicle never rises, there could be a few possible causes:

1. Air Leak: Check for air leaks in the air suspension system. This could be caused by damaged or disconnected air lines, faulty air springs, or a leak in the air compressor itself. Use a soapy water solution to identify any leaks.

2. Faulty Air Compressor: The air compressor is responsible for generating the air pressure needed to raise the vehicle. If the compressor is malfunctioning or not receiving power, it won't be able to inflate the air springs.

3. Height Sensors: The height sensors provide feedback to the air suspension control module about the vehicle's ride height. If these sensors are faulty or misaligned, the control module may not receive accurate information and may not activate the pump.

4. Control Module Issue: The air suspension control module is the central unit that manages the operation of the air suspension system. If the control module is malfunctioning or has a software issue, it may not send the correct signals to the air compressor or valves.

5. Electrical Problems: Check for any electrical issues such as loose or damaged wiring, blown fuses, or faulty relays that may be affecting the power supply to the air suspension system.

If you are unable to identify and fix the issue, it's best to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic who can diagnose and repair the air suspension system.
