Do all 22 RT Ltd's have an onboard air compressor? Where?

[budvoss]

Sorry for this crazy question but I searched the site and googled it. Would anyone know if the 22 RT Ltd has an on board compressor on all 22 RT Ltd models? . ..My book says it does but I cant find it anywhere?? I'd like to know so I can see if it's wired up.
Thanks again all.

Yes. It has 1. I believe somewhere under the passenger seat. I could be wrong about location though.

It's up above the air bag, rear shock area underneath the entire seat and rear trunk assembly, you can see it on the exploded parts diagrams at the online parts shops

You'd likely need a MAINTENANCE Manual (not the Operator's Manual) to be able to find the way to look at it close enough to check connections, I"m thinking you'd have to at least remove the right side panels to see that area clearly.

If you are asking because you don't think yours is working, check to see if the link is connected to the suspension. A quick search here will show many dealers are neglecting to hook up this link, which will usually make the system think the suspension is too high preventing the compressor from running.

Budvoss, along with what Jetfixer has said………prior to checking the link etc, park your RT about 2 metres from a wall. Start it up without sitting on it, and mark the top of the headlight beam. Climb on board, put it in gear, handbrake off and see if the beam changes height (miniscule). Ideally get a passenger to climb on the back seat and look again, then let them off and look again. If the heights change after a few seconds your compressor is working…..BUT…. Sometimes you can’t see the heights change so listen carefully for a faint 1 second hiss, indicating air out, or a faint 2 second buzz, meaning air coming in).

I did fix the link as it was not hooked up a couple days ago. I will do that test you recommend and post the results
thank you

Ahhhh yes, Budvoss……I can virtually GUARANTEE that your compressor is not adjusting if the link is not connected :thumbup:
