91 Coupe DeVille with Auto Leveling Problem

Hello,

I have a 1991 Coupe DeVille and the car keeps leveling even after the ignition is turned off. The dealer said this was normal when I bought it a few years back. Now however it is draining the battery. Any insights.

Thanks

It should stop running after 20 seconds or so. If not, then there is a leak in the system. Does the car ride high, or just the compressor keeps running?

I agree with the leak, or maybe a bad leveling sensor.

I hear the leveling compressor run for about 20 seconds at a time. It will come on every now and then. I'll come out the next day to start the car and while still outside the car will hear it come on, I assume that it comes on repeatedly throughout the night.

It shouldn't come on once the car is leveled. So I'd guess you have a leak. And the compressor does cycle when your turn the car back on, so that's normal.
