Peugeot 1007 air suspension failure

I'm having some serious issues with my 2008 Peugeot 1007 diesel. It's got about 209k km on it. The air suspension seems to have completely failed. The car won't lift anymore, it's leaning to one side, and I'm getting error messages in the speedometer, plus a warning light. The low beams are all messed up too. I scanned the error memory and it's pointing towards the air suspension compressor. I've checked the fuses and they seem fine. Any ideas?

Sounds familiar. Had similar gremlins with my old Audi A6 allroad. The air suspension on those is a pain. Did you check the cable and plug connections to the compressor? Could be a simple disconnect or corrosion issue. It's often the equivalent of a loose wire in your Christmas lights - one goes, and the whole string is affected.

Yeah, I gave the connections a quick look, but honestly, it was getting dark. What exactly should I be looking for? Any specific pins or wires that are known to cause trouble? And where is the compressor located?

Corrosion, damaged pins, loose connections. The usual suspects. The compressor's location varies, but usually it's near a wheel well or under the car, somewhere relatively protected but accessible. Honestly, if you're not comfortable tracing wires and testing connections, it might be worth getting a workshop to take a look. Could save you a bigger headache down the line.

Thanks for the advice! Turns out it was a corroded connector on the compressor, just like you said. Cleaned it up, and everything's working again. Cost me 95€ for the connector replacement. Appreciate the help!
