97LDough Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 The rear end of my car is sagging, along with an air compressor noise. Is this the workings of leaky air bags ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Cadillacs do not use "air bags" in the suspension. They have air shocks. Check the air lines for chafing near moving suspension parts.

MAC Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Do you have any diagnostic codes? Do you know how to enter the diagnostic mode? If not, see below: To enter diagnostic mode: 1. Turn ignition "ON." 2. Depress the "OFF" and "WARMER" buttons on the Climate Control Center (CCC) simultaneously and hold until the segment check appears on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). I believe the above instructions will work for a 97 Eldorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8NSTAR Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 97LDOUGH, You may have a hole in your airline which would cause the compressor to run continually which is the noise you're probably hearing. Sounds as though the compressor is trying (in vain) to pump up the shocks but, if in fact you do have a leaky air line the compressor will eventually burn out.

Ditto, dont let this go on too long you will burn out the compessor.... Check the tubing and look at the air bladders on the shocks for tears, leaks, use a brush and apply soapy water and look for bubbles.... If you cant find the leak quickly pull the fuse on the compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
