Spent 3 hours removing PO custom 12v wiring. Then tried the compressors. Both run. ( THAT was a RELIEF.) But a few times I had the hit on/off a few times. Think I'll look up the relay numbers in the GMCMI parts book. Hopefully new relays will rectify the problem. Next need to check the ride hight switches tomorrow. Anyone up on these compressors? And what were they used in.Bob Dunahugh78 Royale

Bob--I'm not aware of any relays in that system. The compressors have an internal solenoid that functions as an exhaust valve when the ride sensor wants to lower the coach. Then there is an external solenoid valve that functions as a hold valve to basically block off the airbags. The compressors were used in millions of GM vehicles in conjunction with airshocks to provide self leveling. They were last used in the GM minivans.
