Ride Height Not responding No Errors Not Bottomed Out

So my suspension has stopped responding, no error codes showing up. The front isn't bottomed out but I can't lower or raise the ride height. I see some other posts about people with bottomed-out suspensions but I am not bottomed out and I am not sure if its the same problem. At this point I am willing to pull the air lines and drop them down to get them to kick in. It does seem excessive, I would think I could just removing the tires and playing with the ride height sensor to try and trick it to thinking it's bottomed out without actually doing it.

The struts were just replaced and the ride adjustment was working since replacement. I have tried pulling fuses to reset the compressors but no joy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do these fittings go bad? Anyway to confirm? Also my other worry is the test this I have to pull the airlines and now my car is bottomed out. At least now I can drive it. If I pull the lines I could be now stuck bottomed out like this if it doesn’t solve it.

So I just got the fitting but I am not sure what and where I should be replacing it. Does anybody have any pictures or documentation about how and where to replace this fitting?

This is the check valve. Hope that's the cure.👍

No, just a tight space to work in. Soap and water to clean the inner wheel well B-4 doing the project. This will keep U and things tidy.
