OK PEOPLE I AM READY TO SHOOT MY SELF AND THE ENTIRE DEALERSHIP! LOL JUST KIDDING!

Ok, so i took the car to the dealer they told me my air bags in the front are leaking and the module is no good, i got a new module installed it and took it to the dealer again, they programed it i pick up the car drive less then a mile away and its goes INACTIVE AGAIN!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, how can these dealers work and how are people taking this shi it this is ridiculous! How can this be happening! Do they know anything over there or is this just a normal thing they are just keeping them selves buisy by riging stuff or what in the hell is going on.

Can some one give me a sugestion on what else i should try? Is it possible that because i have a small leak in the front air bags it will deactivate the system?? I was under the impression that it will simply keep pumping it up when it goes down. Or did the dealer just automaticaly assume and its their most common thing to do is to tell you to change the module??!!!!

Some one please help me i beg you!

There is a relay in the "hump" in the rear, and there is a decent possibility that it is not letting the pump activate. You can easily pull the cover off of the compressor housing and remove that relay, bring it to the dealer's parts counter and get that part# relay to replace it with. (need the part numbers off of the relay because there are different relays of the same design made for different amperage systems)

The first thing I would check is the fuse to the self level pump. It's #87 on my 01 4.4i. The fuse box is in the passenger side rear compartment.

[nitrogass2000]

Well, it all continues. I went to check on that relay. And its number 6 on the passenger side, the one that is on the very back part number 61366901469

But guess what in that place, i have a relay with part number 6138 1388911 i looked that one up and its not even suposed to be in an X5 all together. The 61366901469 is located next to the battery instead wreapped up in some foam conected to a plug! What the hell is that? So is my car weird or different?

Does any one have a 4.8L 2004 and can check what they got in that number 6 seat? This is killing me. I did replace the 61366901469 the black one and nothing happened.

Anyone has an idea?
