if it isnt one thing its another

i just got a call from the guy fixing my air ride.
put on the struts and compressor. compressor isnt coming on now.
i am not happy. i have to work tonight and have no way there, because he told me my car would be done.
what could it be now? he says maybe a relay?

I can't say what it could be, but there is a suspension diagnostic connector on the left side of the engine. I'm sure that a Ford dealer could plug into it and run some tests. I'm not sure if there is an aftermarket tester for that system.

It could be the relay. Sometimes a bad compressor can burn out the relay too.

Make sure they check the fuse to the relay, under the hood, first though..

RE: if it isnt one thing its another

can someone please post a diagram of the fuse box and relays?
none of the fuses are marked, and i dont have an owners manual.
so i really have no clue whats what.
thanks

See the reply in the Electrical forum.

If the fuses are okay, try switching the compressor relay with the ABS relay, they are the same relay. If switching works, you know you have a bad relay. The ABS relay is supposed to be in the left fender, behind the plastic inner liner of the wheel well.
