[Diy_efi] O/T: Electronic Leveling Control (air ride) '98 Buick Park Ave

[Lee M. Lemoine]

Thank you! :)  On my dads '88 Caddilac, the compressor was up front, way up
high...  hrmph -- i've got power at the circuit breaker for it in the
rear...  and theres another relay for something else nearby, i could always
try swapping that...  same relay...

Thanks for the ideas, hope to get it up on a lift today and play with it.  I
guess i can always try to throw 12v straight into the compressor and see
what happens..  (Fused, of course... incase it is ceased)..  I'm pretty sure
its the same compressor that they used on the older caddilacs, which is
great -- cuz they can be found for $5 in a junkyard.
