Hi around the 4th, my brother in law changed my back brakes, my car worked fine, but weeks after my check air suspension light came on, I was able to drive the car, however now it is like trying to ride a bull. The whole back end is down and I do not know how to fix it. I did notice like a air sound under the hood like a hollow air sound, I have been told if I change the compressor I may still have a leak, I was told to get an air suspension kit and bypass. I want to have this thing work long enough to be able to drive to a lot and to trade it in. Please help I am unable to drive my car at all.

Did the shut off switch in the trunk get turned off before the brakes were done? Turned back on? Also check the height sensor on the rear axle, sometimes the pop of the ball stud on the axle, pop it back on and cycle the on off switch in the trunk(drivers side).

First, it needs the switch turned off, then jack the back up, pace a jack stand under the frame, look on the axle shaft I think the height sensor is between the differential and the left wheel, see if it came off the stud. Push it back on. Then remove the jack stand, turn the switch on and start the car. It will take a few minutes to raise it back up.
