It will have to be troubleshooted but the most common thing to happen is the bags themselves rot out and start leaking which in turn burns out the pump from running too much.

The air bags are part of the struts. The compressor should be behind the left headlamp, down low and the control module is in the left side of the trunk.

That's going to require a scan tool. To get started, see if the pump runs and if not, if it's receiving power and ground. There is also a level sensor in the back. Make sure that is connected and not broken.

jcool; If it turns out to be the air bags, there are conventional type strut replacements available. This is a very expensive type system to 'fix'.

Lots of great advise as usual going on here..... The only thing I will add to the list is to check the 50 amp maxi fuse under the hood.
