How do you test an Air Lift compressor?
Testing the Compressor
- Test the compressor for power if the pressure switch is working but the tank is not filling up with air.
- Place the test light on the power lead to the compressor(s). If it doesn’t get power, check the relay running power to the compressor or the fuse running to the compressor.
How do I reset my Air Lift?
Press UP and DN buttons together to enter Settings Mode. Press the M1 button when the display flashes “JOIn”. Use the up and down buttons to select which manifold to join with. JOIn r = Join with the manifold controlling the rear axle springs.
How long does Air Lift suspension last?
Forever! If they are properly installed and maintained, our air springs can last indefinitely. Just check the pressure regularly, or use an on board air system to maintain it for you. Air Lift offers a Lifetime Warranty on all of our air spring kits.
How to troubleshoot an air lift with no compressor?
Air Bags with No Compressor Systems Horizontal cut in the side of the air bag. Bag leaks. Other cut on air bag. Rub mark on air bag. Bag leaks. Air bag is melted. Air Spring will not inflate. Air spring will not hold air (more then 2-3 psi/week). Flex member is pulled away form the crimp.
What happens if your air compressor keeps running?
If the compressor keeps running, and the pressure in the tank passes the cut-out point, then eventually your PRV is going to operate to vent pressure inside the tank before it reaches a dangerous level.
How can you tell if a compressor is faulty?
Ride and handling is the measure for correct pressure. Compressor comes on, but pressure does not build. Air line not attached to air bags, loose air line, or leak in system. Trace all air lines and observe connections for faults. Leak check. Faulty compressor. Connect directly to battery through fused wire to verify that it isn’t a wiring problem.
What’s the pressure on a Sears air compressor?
I have a sears air compressor that builds pressure up to 60 psi and keeps running but builds no more pressure. It used to build pressure up to 120 psi and then shut off until the pressure would drop. Hi Jerry.
What causes an air compressor to stop running?
This scenario can be caused by a few things, but the single most frequent issue here is that there is a gasket inside the pump that stops air flow from the low pressure to the high pressure side of the pump, and that gasket is letting go and allowing air to flow across at whatever pressure the tank gets to before the pressure rises no higher.
Do you need a compressor for an air lift?
Answer. A compressor isn’t required, but it is convenient! An On-Board Air Compressor System allows you to inflate and deflate your air springs on-the-go. Compressors remove the hassle of pulling over or searching for service stations with air pumps.

Is it OK to run a compressor all the time?
If you have reciprocating compressors, then these definitely should not be running all the time without regularly shutting off. These units generate lots of heat, but usually have quite basic cooling systems, typically consisting of a simple fan on a pulley blowing on cooling fins.
