Start with the basics, is it getting power? In the Rear fuse Block check the following:
fuse #64, 30A, Auto. Level Control
relay #55, Auto. Level Control
Is your ALC system operational? Is the problem that you can't use the compressor as an Accessory Inflator?

Chad.. do you have a on/off swtich and valve to fill things with in the trunk? If not it'* possible that your car doesn't need leveling. The compressor only comes on when the back end is weighed down and power is on otherwise.

Your ignition switch has to be turned to "run" for the compressor to work. Try that...

I have the little button next to the latch that says "air". so far I havent found it to work yet. I looked at it and took the panel off, nothing was wrong that I could visually see.
