Default Replaced air strut, still sagging.

2001 UL, had a leaking driver front strut. Replaced with new OEM strut, everything went back together without issue. Fired car back up and no movement at all out of the new strut. No signs of air leaks, but also no obvious sign the compressor is kicking on.

Anyone have troubleshooting advice for checking the air suspension compressor?

Thanks in advance.

Start with disconnecting the negative cable to the battery for a few minutes to reset the air suspension system.

After that I would unplug the air sus computer behind glove compartments. If that doesn't work adjust height Rods. If that doesn't work replace height sensor.
