Air Inflator won't turn on

2000_Diamond · 03-13-2005, 07:01 PM

Did anyone ever have any problems with the built in air inflator in the back. Mine won't work and i can't figure out what fuse to check. Hopefully it is just a fuse and not the part itself

That must be special in the Diamond Edition, cause I dont have one.

s10warehouse · 03-15-2005, 02:20 AM

it came on the envoy and diamond and the trali blazers in the 98-01 models.. is it not in your owners manual? i have a envoy owners manual i can look in at the shop?

2000_Diamond · 03-15-2005, 09:09 AM

I looked and it just said to check the fuse or bring to the dealer, i can't figure out what fuse to check, its not listed anywhere that i can see.

Check the fuse block under the hood on the driver's side.

There should be a Map sticker on the inside of the lid.

2000_Diamond · 03-15-2005, 06:31 PM

there is but none of them are marked inflator or air compressor, there is an accessory one that is a huge 30 amp, but it is not blown

Isn't there one for air suspension?

Also, did you check the inside fuse block?

2000_Diamond · 03-15-2005, 06:42 PM

would it be the same one as the air suspension, i think i remember seeing one for that

I'm not for sure about that. I just remembered seeing one for it.

2000_Diamond · 03-15-2005, 08:38 PM

i checked the one for load leveler and its fine. Does the truck need to be running for the compressor to run or doesn't it matter. I think this might be one for the dealer, i looked for any blown fuses but didn't see any.

s10warehouse · 03-15-2005, 08:42 PM

did you test all the fuse's its pretty easy with a test light sometimes they look good and can be bad also check the power back their ... if i can remember is'nt their a power out let back thier too? does it have power?

2000_Diamond · 03-15-2005, 08:53 PM

That outlet is dead, but the others work fine, if you could tell me which fuse it definetly is i can swap it out, the big ole 30 amp fuse will require a trip to autozone though

1gmc2nv · 03-15-2005, 09:20 PM

A friend of mine who works at GM has told me that these vehicles with the air assist suspension in the rear (envoys, trailblazers, rainiers) are notorious for failing. Either the won't self-level on one side or either side.

I doubt it's a fuse or wiring issue. Could be a mechanical problem with the on-board compressor itself. Have the dealer check it out.

s10warehouse · 03-15-2005, 09:22 PM

i have a compressor or maybe two and a set of the shocks too!

2000_Diamond · 03-15-2005, 09:29 PM

i could careless about the load leveling, it would be nice to have the accessory air compressor in the back though, but chances are they run off the same compressor, but it doesn't make any sense that the accessory outlet back there doesn't work either.

If its a large repair bill, i will live without it

SteveI · 03-16-2005, 12:04 AM

If the 12v plug is dead too it's gotta be a fuse. Did you try it with the key in the "run" position?

2000_Diamond · 03-16-2005, 12:12 AM

i tried it in every position, i need a better repair manual for this thing, the haynes that i have doesn't include all the extra accessories in the diamond edition.

XBLZR03 · 03-16-2005, 03:27 PM

I need to see some pics of the inflator.

Slacker · 03-16-2005, 03:58 PM

Just start tracing the wiring back until you find where the power stops.

2000_Diamond · 03-16-2005, 04:20 PM

I hate to pop the panel off, those clips look like they are going to break if i take it off
