bad solenoid switch on accumlator
i have a 92 ls400 and i'm having some problems with the air suspension. it goes down completely and when the compressor is running the air just leaks out of the accumulator and no lifting occurs.
i removed the solenoid off of the accumulator tested it and it didn't appear to be working properly. I also got a little water and light rust out of it. after running some light oil into it, i was able to get it working (clicking), replaced it onto the car and it fixed the problem. for a few weeks anyway. now the solenoid still clicks but it never shuts off flow. I'm not sure, but maybe the oil i put into it deteriorated a rubber seal or something such.
I'm fairly certain that this is the problem, but lexus wants $930 for a new accumulator assembly. Does anybody have a source, new or used, for the solenoid only?
Thanks in advance for any help.
