i recently had a suspension conversion kit installed they clipped the violet wire and the suspension message stayed on then they clipped the green wire with the yellow stripe the light still did not go out. i had a great idea to disconnect the battery and then reconnect we did so and the message dissapered. now when i first start the truck the power sterring is hard to turn until i get moving then it works fine my question is did they cut the wrong wires or did we need to cut any at all. ( i had an allignment to if that matters ) |

My email is williamacosta26  gmail.com Good Luck, PS, the ride is perfect and instalation is fairly straight forward. I am not a paid promoter so go with the company you want. But I am beyond happy, and trust my suspension once again. I am also selling a complete fully working air suspension I replaced with coils.

I am really having a hard time determining what is the cost-effective remedy to this problem. Since I have no intentions of entering into a car show, the low rider look and feel is not for me. However, the research on fixing this problem has me going in circles! I was told the reason the rear air suspension does not stay leveled is because the air bags need to be replaced, or the sensor has gone bad, or that I just need to replace the whole air compressor, which costs, $497.00(used). How do I know that I won't come across the same problem with another new or used air compressor? Does anyone have info on a possible recall for any parts to this system, since it seems to be quite a common problem? It would really relieve the huge headache from this dilemma if the manufacturer or dealership was responsible? If anyone has a keen insight, please let me know ASAP! My son is really tired of bouncing up and down in the back seat! Thanks.

| I am going to order conversion kit for my 03. It appears once the airbags and compressor start acting up its never ending from what Im researching.. Conversion kit is 799 vs replacing air shocks and compressor at around 2500 from the rip off service department at lincoln. | |

Replying to: hatemygator (Feb 06, 2009 10:35 am) I just had a conversion done to my 03 Nav but haven't been able to get the suspension light to go out without losing the variable power steering. Strutmasters instructions want the violet wire #26 cut and if it fails to remove the light they say to cut the dark green wire w/ yellow stripe #25. Suncore's instructions say to cut only #25. Originally wire #26 was cut and the light stayed on, then #25 was cut still not change until the battery was disconnected. Unfortunately after wards #26 had to be re-connected because the power steering assist was lost without #26 attached. If anyone has successfully achieved this please share how you did it. The power steering always worked but with #26 cut you had to start driving a 10-20 feet before it would kick in and work. I didn't want to damage the rack or pump so I chose to reattach the wire. |
