01 Allroad suspension issues, please help!

Already searched. I was filling up air at the gas station and the car air bags dropped all the way down. When I start the car the dashboard warning light blinks at first and the goes solid, the level indication bottom light blinks green and car never goes up. After some research I replaced the J403 relay and the 40a fuse next to it. After replacing those things the 40a fuse keeps poping. Where do I go from here? What else should I be looking at?*

That would be a good idea. The system could tell you what's malfunctioning.

So I removed the compressor and the fuse is no longer poping. I took the compressor apart and found the barrel with the magnets torn to shreds. That's gotta be the problem.

And I was going to post that your compressor could be the culprit, but I thought you'd hear it on all the time before it overheats and blows the fuse...

In any case, my post didnt help, but good for you for getting your hands dirty.
