Thank you so much but I know where the fuse is I just need to know which one is the air ride relay and not the fuse I checked the 30amp already and it was perfect, I even ohmed it with my Fluke 87 and their was continuity between both terminal indicating a good fuse but I need to find the relay. Please help and thank you very much and take care.

Isn't that what he showed you here?

The only other fuse that I can think of would be Stud #1.

It looks to be the only other fuse related to the compressor.

I want to give all the Props to KSES123. He nailed it on the Green 40 amp fuse I changed them out and it pump for about 4 seconds then turns of I put 3 guys on the back and it pumped up until it was level so Im so happy KSES123. This is one of the hardest things I've done besides changing our 63 corvette engine. Thank you so much because I was running around changing RTD 30 amp fuse a 10 AMP IGN3 and then I saw KSES2013 come shining through the clouds and pointed to the green 40 amp fuse which was blown. But I have a question I turned it on about 7 times to make sure it works but on 3 of them the service air ride signal popped on and pissed me off. So what would be the best way to clear that error. I have a DHC Code reader and it can also clear Service engine lights and all but not the errors that come through on the computer but this is not really a code which could harm you if it happens to cause fault and ruin the engine. Take Care and Thanks a ton KSES123. I owe you man.

My air ride service soon was on the dash so I bought a new Arnott replacement. I rebuilt the dryer to spec I did everything they wanted me to do and I just installed it and it wont pump like it used to could there be a relay that is not working or a fuse. I checked the 30 amp Fuse name RTD because I thought that was one I heard from a friend and that was OK. I guess the only thing I didn't replace was the crusted up ground from the Old air compressor on to the new one. Would that ground cause it not to operate. Or is there a relay that I need to check that is causing it from pumping. Its brand new. I crimped all the wires that needed to be crimped from the old one to the new one. Turn on the key and I don't here it pump and I get the service air ride error still. Can you think of anything else I can do to get this to run. I can only think of a fuse or a relay because I was very meticulous on repairing the old compressor. I always am when it comes to car parts. I crimped the wires and then put them in the sheath and taped over it for better protection. I got the hoses installed securely but that would have nothing to do with the compressor not running would it?? Could someone help me out with which relay is for the air ride or which fuse I need to check to make sure I have everything OK from the vehicle side of things. and if everything is OK from that side then I have to unhook the compressor again and double check everything and connect that ground wire but I don't know where that connects to the compressor but the compressor should be grounded through the mounts and being anchored to the frame. Can anyone help me please. Im begging here because I have a bad back and its pain getting under the Denali and working around the tire and trying to stand up after Im on the creeper. I would love to get this checked off my list. I would be in your debt if you can help me get this running, please anyone who can help me. I would be so gracious.

I got my air ride working but the Service air ride is still showing up. The compressor kicks on and kicks off likes its working normally but why would the light be on. I have a scan tool to erase the codes but it doesn't show up as a code. Any help will be helpful. Thank you.

I am glad I was able to help! You have to have a special scanner to pick up the codes that the SCM (Suspension Control Module) is throwing. You might want to take it somewhere that can ready the body codes, not just the powertrain information. Then, you could at least nail down what the Autoride is angry about.

Also, it might take numerous cycling of the engine for the code to clear itself. I don't think they just magically go away instantly.
