Default Air compressor

Hi Everyone
I need an opinion about the air compressor for the air suspension system. I am just curious. The compressor activates every 24 secs interval and runs around 5 secs and the the vehicle is on park. Is this normal?
Appreciate any help

Sounds like a leak
How much does it drop when sitting overnight?

Shockingly my struts are original and still fine with 163K on it. My valve blocks, the tank, and the compressor needed to be replaced a few years ago. The tank had some very tiny pinhole leaks that caused the compressor to work overtime. I never did find any leaks beyond the tank, but I’m convinced I was wise to do everything at the same time.

Sounds like you are ready to once again, put it into off road height and get out the spray bottle of soapy water. I would starting where douglastic suggested. Raise to off road height, pull fuse #26 (in the fuse box under the hood) and see what happens after 12 -24 hours. As a side note you should measure from the center of the wheel to the wheel arch before you pull the fuse and again after the waiting period so you have an idea how far it drops.

hope this helps

Jeff
