Where is Air Suspension Pump Relay???

[JCL]

Open the right side storage area in the luggage compartment. Look at the top, where the relays are located. Even if you can't see #6 there, you can see what the other relays look like.

Now look under the spare tire, for something that looks similar.

Or, reread post #8 in this thread. Chas posted a link to another thread, with three pictures of the relay.

What are you going to do when you find it?

I LOOKED AT THE SIDE PANEL WHERE THE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE, GREAT. THE RELAYS ARE GREEN. BUT WHEN I OPEN THE HUMP ALL THERE ARE IS THE COMPRESSOR AND A BLACK AND RED WIRES CONNECTED TO EACHOTHER. MAYBE MY X IS DIFFERENT?

THE REASON I NEED THE RELAY IS BECUASE I SCANNED THE OBC AND THE TROUBLE CODE LIST A SECONDARY PUMP RELAY. I WANT TO REPLACE THE RELAY MYSELF.

If you still can't find it, I guess you could post pictures of the locations and somebody will point it out for you.

HERE IS A PIC OF THE AIR SUSPENSION UNDER THE HUMP. CAN SOMEONE PIN POINT THE RELAY? THANX

Use imageshack.us or a similar service if the forum is automatically downsizing your photo.

Can you locate the area of the relay?

[chas3]

Nope, I guess you have the dual axle air ride, cause it looks different from my dome (rear axle only). Try uploading the full size image, like I mentioned above.

Yea, it seems like i have dual air pumps. Anyone else know where the relay might be, if its not in the hump? I wanna save some cash and do it myself?

OK, let's go back to basics.

1) What is wrong with your air suspension? Does it work OK or not? We don't know what problem you are trying to fix.

2) Why do you believe that the OBC code you looked up relates to your air suspension? Does the code reader say so?

3) The code you reference above mentions a secondary pump. The secondary air pump is part of your emissions control system. There is a relay just for that pump. The relay for the secondary air pump is located under the hood, in the relay compartment, and has nothing to do with air suspension.

4) It appears that you may be confused between the relay for your secondary pump, vs a secondary pump relay.

5) Relays can fail, but they can also be part of a larger problem. When checking the relay, you will need to see if the pump is working correctly. If you can follow a wiring diagram you can determine how the relay is supposed to function.

A first key point is that code readers do not diagnose problems by themselves. They provide codes that allow a trained technician to do a diagnosis.

A second key point is is that sometimes it is cheaper to pay a professional. Buying tools does not make one a technician.

Good luck.
