I have a 2002 se. I know I don't have the air compressor since I don't have the air button and nozel by the trunk latch. But I was wondering what the compressor looks like or is it the E.L.C. that'* behind the passenger rear tire? (pics would be nice ) I know the car has to be running in order to use the compressor that'* why I ask if it'* the E.L.C. module.

Those links will show you what they look like.

ok, I tried removing the heat shield but the 7/16 and the 11 mm both fit but just slip on the nuts. grr. I'm trying to figure out if I can make the trunk air connection or is that a different version of the compressor?

The majority of fasteners around that size on our cars are 10mm. Actually the only 11mm'* I have found were coil pack bracket mounting nuts.

Give the 10mm a try and if that is loose use a 3/8".

it'* too small, but besides that, is it possible to install the air hose attachment like some of the other bonne models have in the trunk off of this air compressor?

bump, question above still not answered
