Dude....go push up a rope! Don't tell me what to say or not say. I gave you sage advice, as did others, and then you went and made a rash decision, stupidly, and now you want only positive comments? No.

You should have tried out the compressor. Not doing that was stupid. I can understand that you missed the carpets, but we were harping on you about the EAS well before your test drive.

So you reap what you sow. I'll keep my comments honest, and if I can't say something useful then I won't say it. Other than that, I'm not here to blow sunshine up your ***.

Not my deal.

as far as I can see wires look nice and assembled ..those metal side brackets where the plastic sides snap on make it impossible to see the rest of the wires though....

Not listening, pull the sill and the cover for all the wires and manhandle the harness, if it comes apart it was a problem

Thank you Tom for putting my sentiments and many others' I'm sure, into words. I too am wondering why you didn't take what is probably the most salient advice and get the vehicle inspected. I imagine you're mentally preparing yourself to shell out money for the fix, and I can't help but imagine with relative certainty that an inspection would have been way cheaper and helped avoid the problems you now have.

That said, go find the sunroof how-to I did, do it. Do what Tom said and dry everything out. You now need to run any and all codes (since you ignored that suggestion before), related to the suspension fault, because that will give you the information that you need. Next its pretty much check the compressor, valve blocks, sensors, and air lines/struts. Pull fuses, check for leaks, etc. Honestly, just go get it inspected now (at LR) and they will probably tell you how it needs to be fixed.

I agree 100% with that Houm_wa said. You asked for help and then cherry-picked what you wanted to hear. Best of luck sorting it out though.
