Default HELP - Height Control Switch not Responding

I was driving today and noticed the ride was a harsh and bumpy. I stopped the car and try raising the car by pressing the up arrow on the height control switch, however, nothing happened. The height control indicator is on "N" and it does not change when I press the height control switch either "UP" or "DOWN".

I have been searching for a solution to this issue, but I have not been able to find anyone with the same issue. I found a few cases online where people stated that the "Height Control Button Off" button would flash.

I have no flashing or warning lights in my dashboard,

I would greatly appreciate any pointer toward solving this problem.

Mine stopped working too - it was stuck in the highest possible position - very rough ride and very unstable. Eventually it settled to normal but wouldn't work anymore. I think it was a sensor, but on a 10 year old car, I wasn't going to start replacing expensive parts, so I ended up converting all 4 shocks to Bilstein, removed rear bags. Search for it, you'll see tons of info!

Yes agreed it might be one of your night sensors.

Check the fuse for the air pump first.

Then start looking at the height sensor and whether it's out of adjustment.

Update - I parked inside the garage overnight, normally park it outside, and it started to work as normal. There has been below freezing temperatures the last couple of days here in NYC. I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Well at least it's working now, but when it's gets warmer check the switches and if you can grease the levers if you can just to make sure.
