Blown Air Line Question - Compressor Not Coming on

I was driving to work on Friday when I realized I was losing air in my front right bag. As I added air to it I realized I would get a little boost but then it would fall right back down. I lowered the front enough to make it level to drive home and parked it since. I was able to get under yesterday and noticed one of the lines is burst - not sure how I will figure this out later and really not why I am posting now...

My problem now is that the compressor isnt even turning on. When i flip the on switch I hear a click but no compressor noise. Does the system need to be fully tight for the compressor to work? I will be getting a better look on Monday but figured I would post here since the feedback is always great.

Before anything, fix the leak of course. Check your fuse on the hot wire feeding the comp.

Re: Blown Air Line Question - Compressor Not Coming on

hopefully a wire came off the relay, happened to me recently. Stab a test light in the positive wire at the compressor with the compressor switched on. If light on and no compressor running, compressor is toast (as long as ground is secure). If no light, check relay and wires connected to it. Possibly a bad relay too.
