2004 Expy left side dropped

The left side dropped almost to the tires. The compressor comes on at various times but it's not sensing the left side isn't level. Is there a way to manually inflate the left side so I can drive it to a heated area to see if something is broken or just froze up? And what should I check for first?

Hard to explain what it was and I don't know what it's called. Behind the drivers side wheel to the right of the air bag there was a connector about 3 inches long with 2 ball sockets that attached to a switch with a lever on it. After popping it back together I turned the key and the left side started to level off. Wish I knew what these parts were called so I could help someone out in the future.

But after hours researching what could cause problems in air suspensions, I have to say I will be converting to a more traditional suspension very soon. And you will be hearing from me in the future American Air 1.

Sounds like your talking about a height sensor. Thats "Just One" of the many problems on those things. Give me a shout when your ready, we'll fix you up.
