Faulty Air suspension?

Hello, I have an aftermarket air suspension installed on my Toyota Hilux truck. The issue I am having is when I press the button to put air in the bags, front and back, the air drops or depletes from the system like it would if I was pressing the actual buttons to lower the truck. This just started happening after a tropical storm so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.

It sounds like the compressor stopped working can you hear it kick on when you hit the switch? I would check the fuses and the power and ground to the compressor motor.

Please let us know what happens.

Hello Ken,

I ended up finding the issue by inspecting the air tank under the truck. There was a plastic air line connector that was brittle and broke off at the connection point. I found a replacement at the hardware store and installed it. Truck is allowing air to fill the bags and holding air!
