Default Air suspension again,,

Good day, this is a new one for me. I was investigating a front end rattle, lifted the left front, just enough to get the wheel off, heard the usual air escape as I jacked.

Looked around, noted that the front pads do not have anti-rattle clips and pads can be moved around in the caliper with ease.

All is good, lower the car and what the heck, I made a low rider?

Not the first time I have poped off the front wheels but this time car is down and will not come back up. Air compressor work, can jumper relay #1 3-5 and the compressor runs, fuses look Okay, tried a hard start - battery off and pos to neg cables touched to drain cap's. Cracked the air fittings at each front shock - still some residual pressure.

Advice?

Hi
Check the height sensor.It is located front left, maybe it was moved during the car lifting, and it gives you just wrong indications, and lowers the car.

How is this done? do I remove relay nr1 and connect connector nr3 with nr5?
