Any way to test my compressor?

Refurbed my old compressor yesterday (new piston ring, o-ring and drying granules) and now its not working, got 12v going to it though.

Had front air strut burst on me last week, and was playing around with the raise/lower control to try and lower the rear after the front burst, could i of burnt out the actual motor in the compressor??

Cheers all, seem a refurb isnt the best thing for a compressor then.... Have ordered complete new internals for the black turtle shell so will fit that when it arrives and go from there.

Fingers crossed....

fitted mine yesterday and spot on no worries bongs or slow to raise, but i took the old one apart as i thought just check i replaced the seals properly and noticed a bit of pitting and a split seal i missed.Replaced the seal and cleaned the pit back to smooth put back together and now working fine it seems but too late as ive just fitted a brand new one _____________________________________________________
