The air-matic control unit sends signals to the air-matic relay, that relay poweres the FUSE & that in turn poweres the air-matic air pump.

The AM air pump need to produce at least 150psi.

MOST common failure is the front struts.. they leak at the vulcunized area at the top of the struts..that causes the AM air pump to run too often & fail!
