  Q: How to replace the Air Suspension Compressor on Cadillac Seville?

  A: To replace the Air Suspension Compressor, one should first lift the vehicle. Prior to detaching the Air Hose from the intake Air Filter or the Air Suspension Compressor, clean the components and around them so that dirt does not go into the alc system. Just disengage the air tube from the air dryer, then make the bolt and harness tie-with air tube from the Air Suspension Compressor bracket, removed. Now, take off the intake Air Filter, the vehicle harness connector from the Air Suspension Compressor connector. Remove the 2 nuts, 2 bolts as well as the Air Suspension Compressor assembly from the vehicle, then slide the Air Suspension Compressor connector from the connector anchor. These are the steps: remove 2 bolts and the heat shield from the Air Suspension Compressor bracket, and then take off the air dryer from the Air Suspension Compressor. Take off the Air Hose from the Air Suspension Compressor at two places and take off the two screws and two brackets of the Air Suspension Compressor. For installation, attach two brackets to the Air Suspension Compressor with two screws, tightening to 7 nm (62 inch lbs.). Apply two air hoses to the Air Suspension Compressor and then mount the air dryer on the compressor. Mount the heat shield onto the Air Suspension Compressor bracket using three bolts, and do not tighten the fourth heat shield bolt until after setting the air tube and fasten it only to 4 nm (35 inch lbs.). Mount the final Air Suspension Compressor connector to the connector anchor and then secure the Air Suspension Compressor assembly on the vehicle with 2 nuts and 2 bolts. Make sure you tighten the nuts and bolts to 9 nm (80 inch lbs.). Connect the harness connector to the Air Suspension Compressor connector along with installing the intake Air Filter in addition to connecting the air tube with the air dryer. Lastly, attach the air tube and the harness tie to an Air Suspension Compressor bracket with bolt, tightening it to 4 nm (35 inch lbs.). Before moving the vehicle, turn the ignition key and let it run for about 45 seconds to allow the air adjustable Shock Absorbers to be filled with a residual pressure, after which the vehicle can be lowered.
