My air ride is not working and I know the rear struts are still in good working condition. What isn't working is the hose going from the compressor to the air shock. I pulled both lines from the compressor this morning and the air is pushing out fine, but when I put the hoses back on the compressor and pulled the plug off the air shock and the hose doesn't blow out any air. Is there a clog in the line? I hate that the car sits a little low in the back and i like it raised,. Are there simple instructions so I can do this myself?

I dont have any buttons in my trunk for the inflator. I said that the air IS coming out the compressor, but, the lines must be clogged because I pulled the line out of the shock and didnt feel air coming out. (Not trying to sound rude) I am trying to figure out is it clogged or not. Everything under the hood is doing what its suppode to do. But from there to the rear, somehing isn't right.

then only thing that it says is to check for the compressor operation. and you said that that is ok. when you have weight in the back of the car does it raise?? or is the car just sitting to low?? does the ELC work at all??
I think that there might be a clog in the line. the lines are 1/8 dia.
