The air compressor does not come on after the installation.

Thanks for this video. It gave me some great direction. I stumbled upon a much easier way to seat the air shocks than turning on the car and the air compressor. I have two GX's and I replaced the air shocks on both this past weekend. On the first vehicle, I installed the shocks and was ready to seat them, but the compressor wouldn't turn on when I started the car. I was resigned to replacing the compressor, so I put the wheels back on and proceeded to take the car off the jack stands I was using. Upon removing the jack stands and lowering the second side with the jack, I heard two loud snaps. I looked under the rear axle and both air bags had snapped into place. I got lucky, but I could have just jacked it back up and re-seated them had they missed. On the second car, I lowered it slowly and when the first airbag made a little snug contact (on the side opposite the jack), I snapped the nipple in place, then continued lowering the vehicle until the air bage closest to the jack made contact and snapped it into place. Turned on the car and bingo! One additional plus, the compressor in the first car kicked in!
