New sound - compressor sounds weird when locking truck - sounds like a motor with a gear that can't turn something or is slipping

Sometimes the noise just doesn't stop. It sounds like a regular motor with a gear that can't turn something.

Any idea how critical this is? I have to drive 10 hours tomorrow.

This is the Gear Guard cable locking mechanism. Sounds dicked, but shouldn't cause any issues.

Oof, that's a relief. I never even used the damn thing. Lemme stick it in there and see what happens.
Much appreciated! I thought it might be some sort of valve on compressor directing air between suspension and outlet.

Yeah no change. I stuck my finger in there and I can feel something trying to lock it but failing. It does it for a good minute or two, then stops.

Yup, mine also died just like that. It's the gear guard mechanism. They replaced it.
