Default help!! all lights are on! HDC, brakes, engine, etc

hi all, need help from experts!!

i have a 2005 LR3, and the "normal height only" has been displaying for few months, i cannot lower or raise the car at all, and i bought a new compressor but never installed it yet.

Until yesterday, the car, while driving, the ABS, HDC, check engine light, and some other lights all on at the same time!, and the car seems to be in access mode and will not raise, so i drove it home, and also the speedometer is not moving at all. the car will not raise to normal height, and i dont hear any compressor sound anymore.

my question is, is the compressor completely gone now? and also if it is, will that trigger all these lights??

I have check the brake lights, they all work, is the car still drivable ?? will i damage the airbags??
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

You will damage the engine, no speedometer = transmission disabled / limited gears

Put in the compressor its like 30 minutes at most to change on the ground go from there

Helps if you can get the engine codes

There's a ton of things to cause this,look at the other threads

With all of that happening at the same time, I would be looking at the wheel speed sensors.

If it is just a failure of a sensor, you will need to have it diagnosed, but if one has been damaged(wire rubbing on a wheel) you might be able to find it with a visual inspection.

Pull the wheels one by one ad look for any signs of rubbing or damaged wires(sensors are the only wires on the RF and LR wheels, and run along side the brake pad sensors on the other two corners)

Also, if you just peak in at the wheels while still on the car, you might see a clean area on the inner edge of the rim where something rubbed all the dirt/dust off.

Yes think I had to push the line and base part in then hold the base and pull line out, can be a pita, I did 2 few months back

And think the top bolt I used a extension with a swivel maybe 1/4 drive? Did these laying on ground in stone driveway, one vehicle dead, full drop

thanks!

now i think about it, it might not even be the air compressor that is causing all these lights, because i resetted it last night, the car was fine and it did raise back up to normal height, so that means the compressor still works.
and after 3km of driving, it drops back to access height and all lights up.
