All the gear no idea - Suspension fault code
Hi, I am getting a suspension fault with code C1A27-12(28 ) Compressor Circuit - General electrical failure short to battery.
Usually happens after a ride height change.
I can find info for the code C1A27-14 on here but not the 12.
Does anyone have experience with this code and can point me to the fix.

Can't help with the fix but the code refers to:
Compressor circuit,
Compressor voltage present when compressor not requested
Air compressor harness wiring short circuit to power
Air compressor relay fault
Air compressor control module failure
Personally I'd start with changing the relay?

Relay
Thanks that makes sense seeing the statements that you give. Also the fault light does not come on until a short while after the height change, so it would make sense that it is sticking on and causing it to overrun. I have ordered a relay today.

You might be able to swap a compatible relay from elsewhere in the fusebox to confirm?
EDIT: need to type quicker

Still got the problem
Hi all, so I changed the relay but I am still getting the problem with the suspension fault.
I had a look at the live values and the compressor was getting hot, up to 102 degrees then the fault light appears on the dash and the compressor must cut out as the temp then starts to drop.
Tried it three times and on the third go the compressor topped out at 72 degrees and no fault occured.
I took a look at the ride height and sensors see pictures and can see that the rear right is lower and also low on volts so I was thinking this may be a clue.
I also got a new message which I am not getting the code now instead I have a new code which is
C1A20-64 which is pressure increas too slow when filling the reservoir.
If anyone has first hand experience of this and can guide my thinking I would find it very useful.
