On occasion my air shocks will deflate when sitting and I have to restart the vehicle again to get the shocks to reinflate. I have had someone look at it but they say I need to replace the whole shock. Since it doesn't do it on a regular basis I'm thinking it could be a switch that is acting up. Thanks

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation.

With any air pressure system, you will have to get a spray bottler and make a soapy solution, dishwashing liquid and water works well, spray all the connections in the system and check bubbles that will indicate a leak, this will pick up the smallest leak easily.
