I recently bought air bags for my wife's 05 Envoy from Arnott. The installation was really easy, but the new bags are not inflating. The compressor was still inflating the older air bags prior to taking them off. Everything was working fine, with the exception that the original bags were leaking. What could have happened? I didn't disconnect any plugs/connections. I did pull the fuse for the compressor/air ride suspension. The compressor IS working. I turned it on manually. After I started the Envoy, I let it run for several minutes and the compressor never kicked on. Is there a reset procedure? I do have all jack stands and jacks removed. Should I have left it elevated? Thanks for any replies.

For anyone who runs into this problem, you might want to check the following. It was one of the leveling sensors. Neither was disconnected, but I did remember hitting the one on the passenger side with my elbow and looking at it and wondering what the hell it was. The angle of the joint was pointing forward while the one on the driver's side was pointing backward. Not knowing if this was the cause, I raised the vehicle again, lowered the pumpkin and pointed the other sensor backward as well. All is now functional. Who would have thought.
