Hey, I'm going to try to work on my elc today since it is so nice out. Are you saying the 97 ssei compressor is in the trunk? When I hit the button in the trunk I hear a click but that'* it. The car sits level, but when people get in the back, it does not level. The only fuse I can find is in the engine compartment (30 amp) and it'* good. Some specific suggestions for 97 ssei would be great.

there is power going to the unit when I adjusted the sensor in the rear to simulate a load. But the power that is being sent does not start the ELC. But when I do put power to the ELC manualy the compressor kicks on and starts raising the car. In fact, the car is raised a little above the level position right now. I just left the wire connectors apart. If I hooked them back up the air pressure would be let out. :? :? :?

Remember that if the inflator is on, It prevents ELC. And it may be switching a ground, not power. You have to look at your FSM for that (DrJay still has mine).

So if your selector valve is bad, it may be part of the problem.
