Pulsar Air Suspension Failure

I'm having trouble with my 2017 Nissan Pulsar diesel with 176117 km. The air suspension seems to have completely failed. The vehicle won't lift, and it's leaning. I'm getting an error message and a warning light. The low beams are pointing way too high or low. I scanned errors, and it points to the air suspension compressor. Could this be a fuse or something simple?

Based on your description, it sounds like a malfunction within the suspension system, possibly the suspension pump. Have you inspected the cable and plug connections to the compressor? A defective connection is a common culprit and aligns well with the symptoms you've described. Also, do you hear the compressor trying to run when you start the car?

I had a quick look at the connections, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Is there a specific way to test the cable or plug connection to see if it's defective? I don't hear any sounds coming from where the compressor is located when I start the car.

Given that you hear no activity from the compressor, and considering your limited experience with electrical diagnostics, I strongly recommend taking your Nissan Pulsar to a qualified workshop. A professional can accurately diagnose the fault and confirm if it's solely a cable/plug issue, or if the compressor itself has failed. Continuing without proper testing could lead to further complications.

I took it to a local mechanic, and you were right, it was a faulty connector at the compressor. They replaced the connector, and the suspension is working now. The total cost was 95€.
