Have you checked to see if you have voltage to the pump ? You can swap the pump relay with another of the same designation from the relay panel to test it out. Is the light flashing or remaining solidly lit ? Without more information it is pretty hard to diagnose the exact cause of your problem.

I would suspect the EAS driver box but for a cheap fix you could go with a "MARS" recovery system. This little widget tees into your existing air lines and allows you to manually raise the suspension to the desired height via a standard airline. A great device that will get you out of trouble and allow you to use the vehicle untill a permanent fix can be made, of course, it does rely on your air bags and lines having no major leaks.

I would do what DiscoMilke said. I just used the program for my system and it worked great. You can manually start the pump and fill the tank and so forth and also reset everything. I bet you do that and it will work just fine.
