Put 13v battery voltage directly to it, see if it runs, make sure you put + to the +, it's a dc motor.

thanks! it was bad, but only because of a leaky shock! 1000 dollars later and it works like a charm!!

ohhh.....so you think the shock leaked, causing the pump then to run continuously and burn itself out.
 
Well, glad you got it figured out and repaired!

I recently replaced the compressor for the rear shocks. They work fine now.
The front shocks are giving me a rough, stiff ride now. There are no loose bolts, no leaks, & when jumping on front bumper, the car returns to normal position right away.
This makes me think the shocks are OK. An electrical connection to the top of the shock mounting bolt, I assume is part of the Auto Ride. Can anyone help me out on this problem. Should I replace the shocks or is the computer telling the shocks to adjust for road conditions or ???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this car, it just went over 100k miles. It's Victory Red & has the #88 on the rear glass.

Autoride Suspension: How do you know if a used vehicle has it? by 1wetdog

Autoride Suspension: How do you know on a used vehicle if it installed? I have heard many dealers say they don't even know what it is... On the older Tahoes it said Autoride below the LT tag, but I have no idea how to tell on the 2007 and newer models. Makes it especially hard looking on the internet.... I had it on my 2002 Suburban and wouldn't want to buy a 'burb or Tahoe w/o it. Thanks

- if you lay down on your back under the vehicle, you can see the air shocks, or look for the air pump, or look for the frame to suspension sensors
- you may also hear it pump about 15 secs after starting the engine.

This may be a dumb question, but where is the compressor for the shocks located? Mine no longer works and want to know where to start.

the compressor should be located behind the driver's side, rear wheel. Both rear shocks will be air shocks. you'll see they have a rubber boot around them.

Thanks, found it. Mine is actually on the frame rail on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel, not sure why its different. Mine is a 2000 which was the first year of the new model change and may be why it is there.
