Default Air Suspension going out 2000 disco???

I have the air suspension package on my 2000. Disco. I noticed last week that the disco was sitting a little low. When I got inI didn't hear the compressor turn on. I pushed the button on the dash to raise the vehicle, but it beeped, and failed to raise the vehicle. Is there anyway I can troubleshoot this to determine whether it's the compressor, or the air bags? Or should I just replace the system and install shocks? If so whatis this process like, has anyone done it?

Thanks.... Is this what to do to troubleshoot the existing air suspension or to replace it with shocks? Cause I haven't bought the shocks yet.

On a conversion, it's coils that take the place of the air bags, not shocks. If you are not lifting it, you can keepthe sameshocks.

You are sounding rather confused as to what makes up your rear suspension, so as I suggested before, call me and whatever you do, do not drive around with the rear eng down and deflated.

Thanks Mike.......I disconnected the ground. Changed the fuses, waited 45 min, reconnected the ground, but it was a no-go. I called BA and they gave me an autologic place about 45 min away, will it be ok driving on the interstate?

Not really, you'll tear up the suspension.
Call some local shops and see if they can help you, or worse case, take it to the dealer, don't listen to all their BS and ask them to scan for faults and reset it.
