If the light on the display is flashing for the desired height and only one light is flashing, then it's trying to rise.
Sounds like you may have crossed up the wiring on more than one solenoid, assuming that the compressor is making pressure. I assume you have all doors closed including the hatch?.
 
are the rear bags correctly folded down or do they have a kink in them? if kinked jack car up at rear untill kink is out then inflatr thr bags.
 
Sorted the switch now it's still trying to fill the resiviour will go out in minute and close the door if nothing then back to square 1

Depending on your compressor, it could take between 5 and 10 minutes to fill the tank.
Not sure what you mean by "sorted the switch"?

He means has put the solenoids in the correct places. He hopes. This is a good illustration of if you don't know what you are doing don't do it.
 
Yer no where ur coming from wammers but fought only replacing o rings how hard can that be when it went down sat I thought that it was probley down to the valve block which the refurbished compressor I put on it can't do nothing till next week now as away all week with work
 
You really do need to check over everything in the valve block and get it assembled correctly. Then find out where the good air you say is being produced by the compressor is going.
 
Just follow the RAVE wiring diagram for the driver pack C139/140 to solenoids. This tells you which black wire & solenoid is which. Then look at PaulP38 for the solenoid locations if you're not sure. Paul's diagram also shows the connector rear view for the wire locations.

When the tank is full and solenoids are in correct place it should rise up !!
 
Stand by i think there maybe several episodes yet to come. One will be entitled "If I have a new compressor giving good air, the diaphragm valve is not leaking, the drier is not leaking, yet the compressor runs for ten minutes and does not stop, where is my air going"?

He was asked to check says not.

Okthat rules that one out but air has to go somewhere.
May be worth sticking a real compressor on to feed to tank and see if he can hear a leak anywhere as the air springs themselves arent leaking

The saga will continue on his return no doubt. If they have no air to them they can't leak. First job is to get a tank full of air and the valve block in a usable state. .
