Air compressor for load leveling system ?

Automatic Level Control (ALC) Compressor
(2) Automatic Level Control (ALC) Exhaust Solenoid

The Automatic Level Control (ALC) system automatically adjusts the rear height of the vehicle in response to changes in vehicle loading.
The ALC system consists of the Electronic Suspension Control module, 2 position sensors, an air compressor assembly, an ALC compressor relay, an intake hose and filter, an air tube, and 2 rear shock absorbers. The air compressor assembly consists of an air compressor and an air dryer mounted on a bracket. The air compressor head is a replaceable part of the air compressor. The exhaust solenoid is a non-replaceable part of the air compressor head.
The vehicles rear vertical height is measured by the 2 position sensors. These 2 position sensors convert this rear height measurement into an analog voltage which is read by the ESC module. The ESC module then determines what action exhaust, compress, or no action shall take place. To compress, the ESC module switches the ELC compressor relay to ground.
The compressor is activated when the ignition is on, and weight is added to the vehicle. The exhaust solenoid is connected directly to the battery (+), enabling the system to exhaust with the ignition on or off when excess weight is removed.

My 06 Nissan Xterra just started making a loud clicking noise after driving it in 4wd for a short period of time. It seems to come from the front driver side wheel area. The noise lasted for about 2 days...

Have someone check the u joint in the cv shaft for that wheel.. they make a clicking noise when 4wd is engaged.. it puts a load on the shaft.. .. often cheaper to just replace the cv shaft

Why does my neon make a loud noise id rive, after

From your description it certainly sounds like a bearing but since you've changed it I would look at the tire for any chopping or cupping as this will cause a noise that is speed related as well. To verify a wheel bearing as you drive the car carefully weave from one side of the lane to the other. A wheel bearing will change pitch as you change the load on it and usually the bearing that is quiet to the left is the right bearing that is bad and vise versa.

Indicator lights with high pitched squealing sounds.

check the alternator drive belt,it may be loose and squealing.
the alternator itself could be also making a noise.
start the car with the hood open and listen to it.
look if the belt is cracked,loose or wet from oil or water etc.
things like thermostat housings leaking coolant can cause something like that.

High pitched noise

YOU CAN REMOVE THE SERPENTINE BELT AND START THE ENGINE BRIEFLY TO SEE IF NOISE IS STILL THERE. IF NOISE IS NOT PRESENT CHECK ALL BELT DRIVEN COMPONENTS FOR LOOSE BEARINGS OR EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT. IF NOISE IS STILL THERE THEN PULL DUST SHIELD UNDER VEHICLE AT FRONT OF TRANSMISSION. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU VISIBLE ACCESS TO THE STARTER DRIVE(THE PART THAT MOVES OUT TO ENGAGE THE FLYWHEEL ON BACK OF ENGINE)WITH AN ASSISTANTS HELP START THE VEHICLE(WEAR SAFETY GLASSES)AND WATCH AND LISTEN. IF THE NOISE IS IN AREA OF FLYWHEEL YOU WILL SEE THE STARTER DRIVE(IT HAS TEETH ON IT)STAYING ENGAGED TO THE FLYWHEEL, IF THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN TRY SHIMMING THE STARTER BUT MOST LIKELY THE STARTER WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A BAD STARTER DRIVE(OR BENDIX) RETURN SPRING. HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS!!

The radio in my 06 chevy aveo dies while i was driving. It wont work no and when i try to turn it on it just makes a really loud crackling staticky noise that goes for a moment then stops. my question is...

I was having that problem with my radio. What happened to mine was in the trunk where the two speakers hang down, the wire that comes out below it was touching the medal and shorting it out. It has a spot to stay connected but came out when putting stuff in the trunk. Just make sure the wire isn't touching the medal.
