• Q: How to replace the Air Suspension Compressor on 2000 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: A vehicle elevation process starts the replacement procedure for the Air Suspension Compressor. The Air Hose separation sequence for clearing the Air Suspension Compressor or intake Air Filter starts with cleaning all components to avoid alc system infiltration from dirt particles. Remove the air dryer's air tube before separating the bolt securing the harness tie with the air tube from the compressor bracket. The replacement process begins with removing the intake Air Filter and vehicle harness connector from Air Suspension Compressor connector and two nuts and two bolts holding the Air Suspension Compressor assembly in place to the vehicle. Use the Air Suspension Compressor connector to remove its attachment at the connector anchor. Following this detach both Air Suspension Compressor bracket bolts and then remove the bracket-mounted heat shield. Start by disconnecting the air dryer unit from its position on the Air Suspension Compressor and removing the Air Hose from both Air Suspension Compressor attachment points. Then remove the two screws that secure the brackets to the Air Suspension Compressor unit. Apply two screws to fix the brackets to the Air Suspension Compressor and follow up with a 7 nm (62 inch lbs.) torque setting. Affix the Air Hose to its points on the Air Suspension Compressor before attaching the air dryer onto the same compressor unit. Use three bolts to attach the heat shield to the Air Suspension Compressor bracket while leaving the fourth bolt empty until air tube connection then apply torque until bolts reach 4 nm (35 inch lbs.). Once the Air Suspension Compressor connector attaches to the connector anchor you should mount the Air Suspension Compressor assembly to the vehicle using two nuts and two bolts by tightening them to 9 nm (80 inch lbs.). The goal is to connect the harness connector to the Air Suspension Compressor connector followed by installing the intake Air Filter, then linking the air tube to the air dryer before fastening the air tube and harness tie to the Air Suspension Compressor bracket with the bolt at 4 nm (35 inch lbs.). After turning on the ignition let the vehicle sit for about 45 seconds to allow the air adjustable shock absorbers to fill with residual pressure before lowering the vehicle.
