So I got everything buttoned up on the $1500(nee900)E500 having diddled around enough with the airmatic. Got the fender liners back in, wheels on, dropped the rear onto the ground and YAY ME it did not slam down! I was feeling good.
So then I dropped the front… bugger! It slammed down! So this is telling me the front has issues since the front shocks let out the air. I jumpered the relay to pressurize the system but nothing happened although it built up quite a bit of pressure per my scanner. Still showing the RR codes but that corner was not dropping so I’m gonna rule out a bad bag although it might have those bad components. It don’t know. Amazon dropped off new relays so I popped one in to see if that would work, it didn’t initially but when I cleared all the codes and turned the key again the pump was running and I got pressure in the system but for some reason it is not raIsing the car. Hmmm I put some soapy water on the front shocks air connections, did not see any bubbles. Now I need to get the RF wheel off again, pull off the liner, and see what the air distribution block is doing, if it’s leaking. I’m still unsure how this went bad while I was doing the transmission work unless I messed up an air line somehow but I don’t think the fronts run under the car. Maybe having the wheels up for awhile damaged the front shocks? Worse goes worse I pulled a pair of air shocks off the E500 I got the engine and trans from so I could always swap those in.
