Default Help!! Sagging rear end.

Not mine. On my 2000 Disco II.

I just walked outside and the rear end of my truck is dragging its a$$. I gotta switch and take the wifes car today. But, when I come home, I'm hoping to hear you guys are all trouble shooting my situation.

I think I have an air rear suspension system. Where do I need to look first.

Search around here and you will find many in your situation. If the compressor is working I guess the first thing is to check and see if your air bags are leaky. Raise the rear up and spray the bags down with soapy water and look for leaks. Also spray down the lines and fittings. That is most likely your problem so do that and get back to us if they are not leaking.

Well, I couldn't look this morning because I was dressed in white and on my way to a BBQ.

So, this afternoon, I moved the truck to the driveway, and jacked it up. Then, before doing anything else, I checked the fuses. I swapped 2 fuses around, closed the drivers door, and up she went. Now, I'm going to get new fuses.

BUT ... if a fuse was the only problem, should the truck have dropped that much overnight?

I'm assuming I still have a leak.

I doubt it was actually a fuse. First, did you look at the 30 amp fuse, was it burned out, if not it isn't causing the problem and it will probably happen again.
Was this the first time it happened, how many miles on it, did both side drop equally?

Both sides dropped equally.

Yes, it was the 30 amp fuse. It didn't look burned out, but it did start working when I swapped them out. The truck has 125,000 miles on it and this was the first time this has happened. When I moved the truck to the driveway where I work on cars and trucks, I didn't hear the compressor kick on.

I'm confused. We'll see what it looks like in the morning.

Remember, all the doors and hood must be closed to activate the pump. Did you push the dash button, if so you threw yourself a self inflected fault.
If you have problems with it tomorrow, send me your number and I'll call you.

Thanks for the offer Mike. Right now, it's Tuesday morning and the truck is fine. Maybe I hit the dash button by mistake?? I don't know.

Again, I really appreciate your offer.

Thanks,

Peter
