Air suspension compressor running on.

[Wes Randall]

I have a 2013 Model S. The air compressor seems to be running continuously indicating a potential leak in the system. I tried to stop the compressor from running by pulling fuse 36, 25a in the number 2 fuse box. The compressor still kept running. Now, I am not 100% certain its the air compressor but after watching several YouTube videos its sounds the same. Also, I can hear a small leak coming from the T fitting with the air fill. Why would the compressor still run with the correct fuse pulled? I cant get to the service appointment for 72 hours. Will the pump burn Out? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wes

I had a similar issue with the T fitting and replaced it with a 1/4" fitting from Home Depot (I believe it's the one in the link below). This was about a year ago and it's been solid since.

Thanks John. I believe I watched a video you posted on YouTube?? My problem is that I haven’t installed the coupler yet and want to stop the compressor from continually running. Wes

Pull relay K11. That’s the hard power control to the compressor. Your compressor will indeed burn out soon if you allow it to keep running.
