I had replaced my bags (all 4) about a year ago with new units from AAS....and had to wait to do the compressor. It still worked so I didn't fret.
I just got the new adrenaline compressor setup from Eddie and installed it this last weekend. Much quieter - I can't hear it running from inside the car anymore...just see and feel the car raising/lowering.
My old compressor still worked, albeit noisy. But, I never had any 'check air ride' messages, or problems with the system. I just wanted to replace it before too long.
Everything seems to work fine with the new setup, however twice now I've gotten the 'check air ride' message and have had to re-start the car for it to clear itself. It has done it to me in the exact same scenario.
I don't daily drive my Mark, so when I start it up in the garage I usually let it run for a few minutes. During that time i'm not in the car, but moving other cars out of the way, to get it out of the garage. The compressor will go through it's cycle, pump it up, and vent. No problem. I get into the car, back it out and straighten it out in the driveway. During this time the compressor will cycle again, as I have obviously added weight to the car.
Then usually when i'm in the car and I hear the solenoids clicking I will get the 'check air ride' message....and everything stops. It is usually at a normal ride height at this time.
I turn off the Mark, re-start and never have a problem again. The air system will work perfectly for the remainder of the day, no matter how I drive it, ect.
I did some searching here, and poked around on AAS's website regarding what would cause this. It isn't a 'hard fault', and I don't think the compressor is timing out, because it will raise the car just fine...and I don't think it is pumping for 90 seconds.
Eddie mention's that the relays can start going south when an old compressor is wearing out - as the old compressor will draw more amps and wear out the relay....but i never had this problem with my original unit, now it is just my new unit.
Eddie's system as a custom built 'vent valve' with his own relay setup. Would a problem with this cause the light?
Would the new compressor draw more amps than the old one for some reason...and be burning up my relay. Or could the new compressor be putting more pressure on the old relay causing the problem?
A bit of help?
Thanks!
