Hi.

Have you tried using the high suspension setting. If it raises, should be around an inch, it would at least rule out the pump being faulty.

Someone might have used lowering links or some other method to lower it. ExSF is right, see if raising it works, and if it does then someone did some mod to lower the vehicle.

Hello joc44,


Is that my pump in the picture...... LOL
Sorry to say, if it is raising to 27.5", then you have a leak if it falls to 25" after 12 hours.

But to answer your question joc44, the pump / distribution valve is located in the rear of the vehicle under the trunk area accessed from the bottom after removing the rear belly pan, also in drivers side (North America) rear wheelhouse is the accumulator tank, although I would not think that the tank would leak, but the line feeding it may, take a listen in a very quite place to see if you can hear any hissing.

Hello Joc44,


I just want to be clear as to not cause anyone any confusion, the white lines in the picture are the fuel vapor lines to and from the charcoal canister and have nothing to do with the air suspension, I posted that picture to show were the air suspension pump resides, sorry I already had both pumps out at the time of picture taking, I will get a clear picture of the air suspension pump installed this weekend, here is a picture showing the EVAP canister and lines.


Johnny
