Nothing to reset. If the compressor won't come on it's probably gone. If you ever drive your car in high water you have submerged it. They aren't cheap. Around 600.00 for parts. Labor is extra.

Hi. the air filter is in a cylindrical looking device that is connected to the intake throttle body, via plastic flex hose. it runs horizontal. you will have to un clip the plastic housing and extract the filter. i will post a picture below.

SOURCE: I have a 2004 buick rainier with a sagging rear

The suspension levelors are vaucumn controlled, look for a leak in the vacumn lines and the levelors, sometimes to ease up your search you may use a spray solution of soapy water while the system is engaged to try to pin point the source of the leak.
Kinked, twisted, pinched or broken vacumn hoses are a straight forward sure sign of the problem repair/replace the defect and recheck your work to be sure it is repaired properly after the fix.

SOURCE: I have a 2004 Buick

Sounds like air suspension bag leaking. (bag instead of spring) You can convert the car over to springs again, which are much cheaper then bags, but it will not have the load leveling capabilites that it used to have. The bags cost my local repair shop $168 EACH to buy (at his discounted price from the dealer.) It literally takes about 12 minutes to change the bags on each side! It is weird to look at them when you get it off. You will find dryrot cracks which when full inflated they seem to stop leaking. But the next morning, after a cold evening, the rear end will be all the way down.

I found it destroys the rear shock if driven very far when this condition occurs. I ONLY changed my rear shock to the KYB Gas Adjust, which the auto parts store will tell you they are not applicable to your car, but if you call KYB they will give the part number too you. However, I REGRET not having changed my front struts to the same spec KYB upgraded struts to match the rear upgrade.

My air ride suspension in my 2007 Buick Rainier is not rising but the pump is on I can hear it but it isn't

Check the air lines coming out of the pump and into each airbag at the wheel end. With the pump running listen to all the joints and air lines you can get to. If it is not rising at all it is most likely an air leak that you will be able to hear. Is there a pressure gauge on the dashboard or on the compressor tank itself? Checking this will show if the pump is actually generating enough pressure to fill the tank to feed the airbags.

Can you drive a buick rainier with the rear air suspension broken

You can but will cause damage to rest of suspension, possibly floor pan and may even damage wheel. Generally not a good idea to drive with broken suspension.

Air suspension bleeds down over nite compresser quit running

The leak is probably in the air bags or a supply line. The pump probably burned out trying to keep the system supplied. You're lucky it didn't run your battery down.

Air suspension

If they air up and sag again after time or overnight, the bags have a leak. Mine did the same thing. When you're driving it usually wasn't an issue because the compressor is live and kicks on as needed. Replaced the air shocks, under $200 for parts. I bought mine at Advance, online for somewhere around $180 I believe. Only about an hour job.

Air suspension bleeds down over nite intermitten

Not a mechanic, but had the same issue, replaced the air suspension with traditional coils and shocks, total cost about $150 did it myself, really very easy. No more issues and it rides better! Will take you about an hour and a half, tricky getting the axel to drop down low enough to insert the spring, utilize a small pump jack between the axel and frame, hope this helps.

What do I need to do if the air suspension in my 2006 Buick Rainier will not stay aired up? Every time I stop at a light, I can hear it pumping back up. At one point, when we were experiencing below zero...

the rubber on the suspension that inflates is worn. it may have some dry rot. you can replace them but it will cost you a lot plus your pump is working overtime and that will wear out and add to the cost of repair. You can get a conversion kit where coil springs are installed and it will be a lot cheaper

2004 BUICK RAINIER

These are side products of the all wheel drive system, incombo with the locking rear dfferentials.

You'll find the auto-lockers will tend to do that following a tight turn, particularly when you're doing it quickly.

The thud is similar in nature; it's just the All wheel system trying to figure out where to put the power.
