the usual 220 s500 airmatic nightmare

[lyndongt]

Went out to my car this morning and the passenger wheel well was on the tire. The display message was akin to take car to dealer. After a few minutes the car lifted and was fine....for a few minutes...then the same message. When I unlock the car I hear the compressor churning.....is this most likely a leak at the right strut? I've sprayed soap...but can't find bubbles.

Also, where is the 38 pin connector on this car (I've owned a 140 until recently and can't seem to locate anything other than the ODBII connector).

BTW - I put 275k on my 140 with minimal problems. My 220 has also been solid...up to 90k......this could be the breaking point.
