Discovery 2 Driver Side Air Bag rear wont inflate

pauldisco2 · Feb 22, 2020

Good evening, I am paul new to this thread I have a discovery 2 2001 the rear air bag on the driver side isn't inflating but the rear passenger side is inflating. I have blown 2 of the 30amp fuses for the air suspension in less than 1 hour and now the rear driver side wont inflate at all, tried jacking it up still wont inflate, when I press the lift button it just goes straight out again unless I hold it then it beeps but doesn't lift cant hear compressor running also... I was thinking maybe the relay as the fuses kept blowing?. help would be good?... thanks

a blown fuse and a deflated bag needs looking at ,most of the time its the bag needs replacing

i was giving you a pointer ,still best to check senors are secure, you havent any other issues, a faulty bag symptom is it dropping on one or both sides overnight ,but will still raise and sit evenly once started

yeah rear left sensor bracket is rotten away and also top mount for shocky is gone so ordered a new one today are they easy to fit? just weld in place?..

the sensors chassis mount and shocker chassis mount?disconnect the battery before unplugging the sensor
