Air suspension causing dead battery?

[Ramitinher]

I’ve had to jumpstart my truck a few times lately and I’m pretty sure it’s related to a problem with my air suspension. I hear the compressor running way more frequently than usual and the battery tested out with no issues. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Thinking I could pull a fuse and see if a corner sags, get some soapy mix on all the joints etc; if anyone has any better ideas let me know. Thanks

Yeah sounds like a leak. Soapy water is one of the old standbys. People who service air systems sometimes use ultrasonic audio detection, don't know how sensitive the systems are, maybe you can rent one?

If you still have original battery, get a new one.

My GW air compressor would startup’s when ever I unlocked my doors, once I noticed suspension adjustment not available due to hot compressor error I took it in for a service check, they found a bad front air shock bag leaking and ordered a new one.
