Simple but can be easily overlooked

You have got ALL the doors and bonnet / boot shut haven't you, the compressor won't run with ANYTHING open

Carefully disconnect the ride height sensor arm from the radius arm mounting, unplug it and move it through its full range of travel a few times, repeat this on both sides.........reconnect and re test..........this "may" help it.

Other wise, if you can get the pump to run by hot wiring it, do that till the bags are inflated, then reconnect it back to the vehicle electrics and see what happens then.
