Air Suspension level lights blank

Air Suspension level lights blank
Hey guys,
I have a 2001 Allroad that has been acting up. Air bags were intermittently having issues in the winters in Calgary. I moved out West to Vancouver and the better weather has had the air staying put for a while, even though the suspension light was on my levelling was working (I kept it in 'm' at 2)
Now my air suspension lights have gone blank. The system lights them up to the second setting on check, then it goes blank and shows nothing. When I first returned from my trip they would come back on occasionally, or blink, but now - nothing.
Has anybody seen this problem? I can't find any record of blanked lights on the 4-level suspension button.
Now the car is running well mechanically, except the suspension is sitting low, especially on the rear right. The compressor is not firing, but it is the second one the car has had, and was working fine before. Feels pretty bumpy to drive around, but when I measure ground clearance it is near or above 142mm (level 1)
Also worth noting, my speakers are not working (Bose system works fine) and this is the second time this has happened. The first time it eventually came back on.
The tire sits about aligned flush with the wheel arch.

Blank lights and no compressor operation may indicate that the big fuse buried way under the bolster below the steering wheel has blown or that the suspension module is bad.
The latter is a pricey little hunk of tin.

For whatever it's worth. My 2004 2.7's level light sometimes just doesn't light up.
It has happened a few times while driving where it will blink, like a lose wire or something. Other times it's just out. Not rhyme or reason to it.
I have no other suspension issues though.
