For last 2 weeks my 03' Lincoln Nav has been telling me "Check Suspension". This morning the truck was totally flat to the ground and would not pump up. Does anyone have any ideas?

Replying to: scabbo (Jan 05, 2009 9:46 am) I changed my compressor and all three arms plus one sensor (on the offending wheel) and the problem seem to go away. Four months latter I began experiencing similar symptoms and this time changed the remaining two sensors and everything seems to be fine. Just that I have to put the vehicle into drive before it will rise up and if it is very cold it seem slow in coming up, other than that it is fine. |

Replying to: scabbo (Jan 05, 2009 9:46 am) I had exactely the same problem at my Lincoln navigator 2004. It felt completely down. At mine it was the hm difficult to transelate to english but I will try. In the system who raise and low the car its a compressor, this one as I understood should have been to service every 4 year , something I didnt knew. So inside there its a shaft or what its called who was broken in mine. So ask your garage to check your air suspension compressor. I found out that to have a Lincoln is very difficult since to contact Ford and ask for help is impossible. They dont give any service at al. I explained that I live in Sweden and that very few here can with the system for American new cars . But no help to get. So this forum is very good to have. I hope this was to help for you. |

i BEEN told by a mechanic that the reason the rear is down and front is up is because the compressor is not coming on and I need a relay. suppose to get done today, will keep you posted.

For those of you with a low-rider Navigator that is low in the back the first thing to check is the relay as it is a $115 dollar part you can pick up and change yourself. Also, you can test to see if the relay is the problem by bypassing it. How? Follow these steps.. (this is straight from the Ford/Lincoln Service CD) 1) Locate Suspension Relay (behind passenger headlight - next to the horn - small amp looking like box - access from the ground - with a 4 post plug going into it). 2) Pull the 4-post plug 3) The manual says to connect a bypass wire "10 guage with 50A fuse" (I used about a 4" long - 14 guage wire - no fuse) from post A to post B (the left two posts when looking at the plug and the tab is on top) 4) If the relay is the problem you will immediately hear the compressor start to air-up your shocks - just don't leave the wire there for more than 30-40 seconds as it will get hot and you risk burning out your compressor. 5) Once your shocks are aired up and the back end is not longer a low rider then you should be able to drive around for a few days before leaks in the system let the air out - enough time to get to the dealer and get a new air compressor relay. If this does not solve the problem then you likely have a bad air compressor. |
