on my 2000 S500 The Airmatic light comes on and ist say caution car too low. The car no longer comes up to ride height.I can not hear the compressor turn on, so i checked the fuse.It was popped, so i went ahead and puta new one in, it popped instantley,im not sure if its grownding some were or if the pump is bad can some one please help me i have been batteling this problem for a coupleof weeks now thanks.

 

youhave a bad compressor. and also you need a new relay and fuse and the air leak you have needs to be fixed also

 

well i just took off the compressor, and when i removed the weather pack connector from the air compressor(the wiring). It was really hard to remove, once i got it aparprt the connections in side the pack were melted. So does this mean that the compressor got tot hot and the wires melted oris the weather pack the problem

 

what happens is the car has a leak then the pump keeps running then the relay gets hot and then the compressor stays on then it gets to hot then blows the fuse. replace the pump, you might need to repair the wiring in the connector on the car side of the harness that plugs into the pump

 

alright i see, let me ask you this were can i get a compressor and is there a easy way to check the air lines for leaks. Cause it seems like its goona be a bitch to follow each line all the way through.So there is no doubt in your mind this is what caused this

 

even though the compressor runs it still could be faulty. the most common leaks are at the stut tops under the hood. have you had them fixed yet? her is a pic.. sorry poor lighting and poor pic. if they havent been done they could have small fine cracks in the sealant and thats where the air leaks from.. you can pour water on the tops and then you will see bubbles coming out if it is leaking. if they have been repaired then the tops will be "dug out" and possibly painted but you can tell if its been repaired because the top will be concaved about an inch down. the pic that is attached has not been repaired so it is "flush" with the top of the stut still. and you cant see the whole brass valve, if its been repaired you will be able to see the whole brass valve since its concaved down and inch.
