***CAUTION*** I do my own stunts!
Drivers side wheel well under the hood below the fuse box above the strut is a big gray relay and connector, this is for the air compressor. Lay your hand on it and have your wife turn the key to the ON position and wait a few seconds and see if you hear/feel it click.
You can also unplug it and jumper 2 wires together to power the pump. If it sparks when you touch your jumper leads and the compressor doesn't turn on then your compressor is shot.
The computer commands the dump solenoid valve to open before engaging the pump so the compressor doesn't draw as much amperage and is easier to start up initially.
Are you getting any service suspension messages on the DIC?
