HELP I am a chaplain not much mechanic skills I have a 03 H2 Hummer with the air suspention, the compressor has got where it continously runs after the engine is shut off and has killed my battery can you tell me how to unplug the compressor until I can get everything fixed

I don't have air suspension but if I remember correctly, the compressor sits right in front of the rear bumper.

If you look at it,you should be able see how to disconnect the power. If not, I'd imagine there are only 2 wires going to it. You could just cut one and wrap it for now.

If you do that, make sure you don't cut it so close to an end that you can splice it up again.

PS. I'm moving this thread to technical.

Mark thank you for the info, as I looked at the compressor there was 2 wiring connectors that was plugged into the back side of the compressor they look like the connectors for a trailor not sure which to try to unplug also would it be very difficult to do away with the air system altogether and have regular suspension again thanks

Sounds like the compressor relay is stuck on. It is located below the brake master cylinder just above the framerail.

could you tell me what I should do to fix this thankx

If it is stuck, just replace the relay. Common problem in the early models due to being so close to the exhaust manifold and getting hot. Its a safe bet that its stuck, just unplug it and go to the dealer with the old one and order a new one
