Default no compressor after new shocks installed

Hello, I just finished replacing the two front air shocks on my 05 xj8, now she won't raise back up?? The rear is at the perfect level but the front hasn't gone up and I haven't heard the compressor kick in at all. Here is a few things I have already tired but haven't solved the issue, driving the car around town for 20-30 min, driving in the highway for 10-15 minutes, had a jaguar shop reset the ECU and ASM, also has a new (3 months old now) air compressor for the suspension. I have no lights that pop up on the dash, not even car too low, which concerns me, is it suck in some safety mode even after reset? any help/ideas are greatly appreciated!!

Presumably the height sensor was unhooked when the front shocks were replaced. The sensor has to be recalibrated then (with SDD), otherwise the control unit has no current height information.

Hey, they is a fuse in trunk for air system (10-amp). While engine on, remove fuse and put it back right away. that will kick on air compressor. And yes, check your height sensor. i removed height sensor mounting plate when I replaced front shock. You might damage sensor if not careful.
