Can any one advise me what to do about the compressor for the rear suspension, it keeps
running. I am afraid it will damage it.

Thank You

First off, either unplug it or pull the ELC (possibly ALC) fuse.

Then find the air leak and repair it.

P.S.
It's an air "assisted' suspension. It does not have "air suspension"
