there could be a leak someplace that's letting air out.

sound like you either have a bad switch or you dump air valve is either shot or needs new o-rings

yeah its a valve probably. does one compressor come on more than the other? Go through the whole system, lift it up make sure you have pleanty of pressure built up so the compressor doesnt  come on. it has to be quiet, rock it upp and down get in there and under the and listen for anything and watch the suspension too do that for a half hour.
