willwren,
Agreed...should have posted here.
Confirmed, through visual inspection, RPO code lookups, and testing, that I do have a functioning load leveling suspension.
To those who said the compressor would be in the bumper behind passenger rear tire, that is correct!
Sat on trunk for 10 minutes before realizing key had to be on to activate compressor
The "grandma-car" Buick doesn't have a selector button.

yeah and hope the compressor doesn't break on you. It did in Bronze Bonnie'* and we looked up the price on gmpartsdirect - $200 sumpin bucks. I'm sure you get get it at the junkyard cheaper wherever you live, but not us. They wanted $250 USED! *******.
Note! You can't always hear the compressor. In my SSE it is so faint that you actually have to get right down to it to hear it. That probably means its going bad.
