Rear Air bags

were at 0 again. I guess I see why the rear seems "bouncy"- any ideas on how to isolate the problem? It could be the small tank, or the lines , and of course the bags...I wondere if the compressor was coming on as I never hear it, guess the whole system could be replaced..>>>>>>

Besides being bouncy, you must be very low in the rear.
With the system @ 0 psi, the aircompressor should come on, when you turn the ignition on.
Check air compressor fuse. You could have burned out the compressor.
Use a spray bottle with water and liquid soap. Shake the bottle to make it all foamy and spray all the fittings and the 4 valves mounted on the leveling valve bracket.
try inflating again. If the air loss is as rapid as you describe, I suspect a leaky bag.
Don't think about replacing the entire system, too costly.
If this does not show you anything, get compression fitting type plugs at your local plumbing store. First plug compressor side of tank, then airbag side, to isolate.
more later
