I was today years old when I learned that after about a few seconds you should hear the air ride compressor kick on or hiss to let air out, mine does neither. I’ve owned my Tahoe for almost 3 years now and 33k miles. I have not heard the compressor run at any time. I’m pretty picky about listening to noises . I got in the back to weigh down and nothing

With that being said, I knew the shocks needed to get done, Chevy mechanic said the back left was leaking. I have not noticed any bad handling when driving, she handles like a dream to be honest, no sagging and no suspension messages, I’m assuming leaking shocks burnt out the compressor probably before I bought the vehicle.

Checked all the fuses and haven’t been able to check relay yet. If the compressor was truly out would I be getting any dic messages? What else should I be checking to rule out compressor before I replace suspension?

I thought about removing it to bench test out of the vehicle then checking connectors before and at compressor to make sure it’s getting power
