I'm in the process of replacing the air compressors and I'm puzzled as to how the OEM system released pressure. The original compressors have an internal solenoid valve that's in series with the external shut off valve. And according the schematics, both are energized in the 'lower' mode which I interpret to mean the air in the suspension goes back through the compressor. But I don't see when the OEM compressor's air inlet is. Perhaps that large black cylindrical piece is more than a muffler and plays a role in bleeding off air pressure. I'm stumped at the moment and would appreciate some guidance.
