One last thing, your compressor runs whenever it needs to correct the ride height of your vehicle. For example, if you load up the whole family and the kitchen sink, the compressor adds air to compensate for the extra weight. When you all climb out the vehicle will obviously raise up which activates the solenoid in the valve block and air is expelled, bringing the vehicle back to a level setting. This all typically happens every day without most of us even noticing.
And by the way, I replaced both rear air springs (Arnotts are the only way to go) and my compressor is still in tip top condition. I stripped it and the valve block to check because that's just in my nature but ultimately wasted 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. It really is a pretty simple 12v air compressor albeit of the high duty cycle variety.
