Happiness IS - Full Bags

Sat for a week.... can’t say I noticed such deflation before...

Inflate fine...no abnormal sounds...6 hours later...still inflated...

No codes on the Foxwell...

Umm....leaky air springs?

Yep, may be air bag leak. I had this issue. No code, but after a few days sitting at the dealership for an unrelated issue they found the bags were leaking.

If it’s leaking badly pull the fuse on the air pump as they have a tendency to burn out trying to keep the air bags inflated and running continuously. I think in your case your probably okay.

Thanks for that....I dropped overnight to about 30% inflated but I don't hear it kicking-in...Off hand do you recall the fuse number?

Hey man it looks like your air spring is leaking and i would suggest change asap because otherwise the air pump may be broken too.

Ordered new bags on Sat and they arrived yesterday... being installed today... Went with the Arnotts.... better than OEM.

Not been driving it since it happened...
