Unhappy 2005 S500 Airmatic Not Operating

My message center has just started showing "Airmatic - Visit Workshop". I do know that the car will not lift, but I have been measuring the ride height and the level has not changed or lowered. I am assuming that there are no leaks, but that the pump isn't operating. Could it be a fuse, and if so, where do I find a fuse chart? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Default 2005 S500 Airmatic Not Operating

Thanks for your reply. I do not hear the pump. I did find the fuse and sure enough it was blown. I replaced the fuse and the replacement blew out. I am going to try a new relay next before replacing the pump. Does this sound reasonable. The car has not lost any height. I measure the height every day.

Of course, you're right. It is the pump. It looks like water was sucked up into the pump, causing the problem. So, off to a replacement. I appreciate the responses to my message...Thanks.
