I think that there might be a clog in the line. the lines are 1/8 dia.

I would imagine that if you have any connections with places that sell truck (Semi) parts contact them about 1/8 dia. air lines and see what you come up with
have u tried to adjust the sensor arm yet??

you owe big time for this
Height sensor operational check
turn ignition Off then on to reset the sensor timer circuts
disconnect the sensor arm
check that the wiring is securely connected to the sensor, and the harness ground wire is connected
Move the actuating arm up, there should be a 7-10 sec delay before the compressor starts and the struts start to inflate. As soon as the struts fill stop the compressor by moving the arm down
Move the actuating arm down below a postion where the compressor stopped, there should be a 7-10 sec delay before the the struts start to deflate and the vehicle lowers

Height sensor adjustment
park vehicle on level floor
check the following
tire inflation pressures
fuel level in tank, tnak should be near full
no load should be in the vehicle
place front seats in rear position
turn ignition to ON to activete the system
bounce the rear of the vehicle three times to normalize the suspension
loosen the lock blot that clamps the metal actuating arm to the plastic actuatuing arm. To raise the height, move the plastic arm upward, to lower the height move it down ward.
tighten the lock bolt

Does the car have to be jacked up for this procedure?

No Success!!!!!
What is that thing.......oh yeah, the sensor arm. I can't find that thing. Are you sure this is for the ELC and not the CCR? only thing I saw on the rear left wheel was the cord for the shock. Same for the other side. But that plug thingy, I checked that out the other day and no air comes out of it. THe sensor arm gotta be somewhere else.
