• Q: How to replace the Air Suspension Compressor on 2001 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The first step to replace an Air Suspension Compressor begins with properly supporting your vehicle during lift. All air hoses and tubes require cleaning before disconnection to protect the elc system from foreign matter infiltration. Disconnect the air tube from the air dryer followed by removing it from the Air Suspension Compressor's bracket. Disconnect the vehicle harness connector from the compressor connector and remove the Air Filter from the intake. The Air Suspension Compressor assembly requires removal of the three vehicle bolts then the three bracket bolts. Take off two brackets and install two screws onto the Air Suspension Compressor by removing it from the air dryer and removing air hoses at both ends. Use two screws to connect the two brackets to the Air Suspension Compressor before tightening them to 7 new metres (62 inch pounds). The first step is to link the Air Hose to the Air Suspension Compressor at two different points before adding the air dryer onto the compressor assembly. Install the Air Suspension Compressor assembly onto the vehicle by tightening three bolts to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). Before installation, secure the assembly to the bracket by tightening three bolts to 3 nm (26 inch lbs.). To complete the installation you should first return the intake Air Filter to its place before linking the air tube to the air dryer and placing it on the Air Suspension Compressor bracket. Complete the connection of the vehicle harness to the Air Suspension Compressor connector. A 45-second wait after turning on the ignition lets the elc system execute the arc to fill the air adjustable struts with residual pressure before you lower the vehicle.
