Another ELC question...
have my car in garage, found the compressor, took the lines off for the air... turned the key on to the on position... nothing. Compressor doesnt kick on or anything... what does this mean? i dont want to buy another compressor, what are my options here? I dont really care much about the auto leveling as i never tow anything and never will... help!

have air lines off, cant blow air through them. also the shock doesnt seem to be very shocky (yes i said shocky lol) i jacked under the rear pass hub area and the shock doesnt seam to really do much, the hole car lifts instead of the rear arm. whats going on with this thing? will it help if i put new shocks on? what about the compressor not running... ugh!

there is a relay and fuse under the back seat. they should be good, i swapped the relay out with another relay of the same numbers and still nothing and fuse is good. wouldnt mind tryin to "hot wire" the compressor, just not sure how!
