Air Suspension Question
 
I have a 03 4.4i with two axle suspension and an adjustable switch on the dash.

My rear wheels are a little low, and every time i hit the air suspension adjustable switch to raise the wheels, the middle light stays on and the top lights keeps flashing. but the rear wheels don't rise up. I'm baffled because i don't have any warnings on my dash. :dunno:

how do i get the rear wheels to rise up. I recently replaced a broken ride height sensor on the rear driver's side. and the car rose to the height that its at now. but i need it to go a little higher on the rear.

Thanks for your response.

Just for clarification...the "wheels" don't actually move when you have dual axle self leveling...it's the "suspension" that articulates by inflating/deflating the air shocks (bags). :)

No warnings? Has it been determined that you are not already at your maximum suspension height?

i meant the suspension. i don't believe the car is at its highest point, because i can only stick my fist in between the rear wheel and body and i've seen other cars sitting a little higher.

Yes i do not have any warning lights. i had the SLS Inactive, but then i replaced the real height sensor few weeks ago and cleared it, i haven't had it since. shouldn't the suspension go up and down with the switch? I'll post a picture of the current height in a moment.

I just drove the car on my lunch break and the adjustable switch worked perfectly. it went up and down as it should. thanks.
