Default 04 VDP Suspension

Replaced upper control arms and removed struts, put it all back together and the air struts will not raise up. All fuses are good, R1 relay (engine compartment) is good, reset the computer and still nothing. The only problem I can find is, there is no power going to the compressor. That is, I used a volt meter and unplugged the connector to the compressor and I get zero reading on the volt meter (and yes i checked to make sure my volt meter was working properly). Any Ideas?

Drive the vehicle more than 3 miles an hour about 50 feet to get it out of jacking mode, which cuts all power to air compressor when in this mode. Have you tried this first?

Did you disconnect the ride height sensors when you did it? If so, check and ensure that they are plugged in and attached to arms?

You may need to drive it for up to 20mins before it will raise up.

There is no sensor connected to the upper control arm, but there is to the lower control arm. the one on the passenger side steel wire is broken, it pulled out of the rubber piece and i pushed it back in.

If the sensors are attached, it sounds like you are locked in jacking mode. You have no red light on dash (vehicle too low)?
