2001 s430. I changed the brakes on my lift, and the air ride let the car down. It won't go back up. Pls help

everything worked great before I put it on the lift. Did brake job and the air ride lowered the car in front, and raised in rear. How to fix please.

Let the car down completely, disconnect the battery, wait 10min. then reconnect the battery. Things should return to normal (unless the battery is dead) or you have broken one of the air shocks air lines.

on an auto set air ride, you can unhook the battery and drain off the air at each wheel shock. when you hook the battery back up and start it, it should readjust to normal.
Drive it!
Check to make sure you didnt pinch one of the air lines.
Just start the car and let it run. The system will level itself out. Even if you created a leak somehow, the end that is too high will drop down to normal. It is really not that easy to damage these systems. Most horror stories occur when an older system is put on a lift and releases all the air. Then when it is lowered, the air bag is collapsed and can pinch a hole in itself. Possibly tearing an airbag.
