That'd probably mean I'd have to replace the compressor to get a new dryer.
The water won't come out before the air because it'll be resting at the bottom of each component.
What about replacing the compressor (to ensure the dryer's working), waiting until the summer when temps get up and then completely evacuating the system. With dry air coming in and hot temps, that should help some of the water evaporate and exit the system. I suppose if that actually worked, I could just raise and lower the car using the air-ride system itself over a few weeks repeatedly; raise the car, let it sit for a day, drop the car, repeat.
Am I stretching here? Just thinking out loud.

Lol, I was actually thinking the same. I have never had the pleasure of dealing with this issue yet, so didn't get a chance to ever look at the parts and what could even be done.
I just know, from working with tool compressors, that moisture makes all the stuff go boom.
Systems without drains, and dryers, best thing you can do it dump the air in there when not in use. So maybe lowering the car over night would help.
I really don't know for sure, just my thoughts on the matter.
Still in your case, I think you should check the cheap relay first. Check connections, corrosion stuff like that.
