Hello I dont mean to sound silly but I have left some very important questions on here an had not got any solid answers the last answer I got was to check for compressor an sensor when my question was why would the altornater stop charging when I put those fuses in an all the lights that were on also? BUT I WAS JUST TOLD to check for sensor an compressor with no follow up I cant even go to work because the alternater is not charging? Also I lowerd the transmission fluid an had not had any more problems with it just service transmition is still lighting up? PLEASE HELP?

U where told to check voltages! You messed u just pluging in fuses!I know I have repaired 50 plus level ride sys. The alt. Can be rebuilt ez remove it and replace the voltage reg. The diode and the brush holder. Then it will be new.I cant remember how many times I fuced up in my cadie carrear. Dont beat yourself up. Its only going to cost u the price of the 3 parts. Later

The owners manual will tell u where the relay panel is at. Turn the key on.2people sit on the rear bumper.U should hear the compressor turn on and lift the rearend. Cadie moved the compressor to the r/r suspenion area by the height sensor. Gl

Spray soapy water on the lines and strut. The struts are bad. The shock bags are leaking and they are not cheap most likly. Gl
