| rear suspension pumps up, however will deflate when driving or sitting, hoiwever, does not deflate every time, so it can't be an air leak or it would drop every time? Someone suggested solenoids or computer problem?? what should I look for first, compressor is working. | |

Every winter my air suspension starts acting up and I wind up paying hundreds of dollars on sensors and diagnostics. I finally decided to install a coil over conversion kit front and back. It's been 2 weeks and I have had no problems. The ride is not that much different than with air. You might get a bit more side to side motion but nothing really noticable. For all those with continuous air ride problems this might be a solution. No more paying hundreds of dollars for my winter air ride headaches for me.

Ok Guys and or Gals, here is my problem... it only occurs when it rains but the truck does indeed look like a low rider and bounces as such. My question is how do I test the dryer and compressor for defaults before I carry it in to the rapist (Ford/Lincoln dealer) and where are these items located on the truck? Any assistance will be eternally greatful. |

I let my gf use my truck today for about an hour and when it came back the ass end was on the ground. The compressor makes a thumping sound(not loud tho) and the check light ISNT on. Is the compressor shot? And am i better off buying an Arnott air bag and compressor kit or going with Strutmasters spring conversion kit? I plan on keeping the lincoln for as long as possible but dont want to sacrifice ride quality at all. Also, if i get replacement bags do i need to worry about new sensors or relay? I dont want to pay the dealer the 1400 they want to fix it but I also dont want to have to fix this more than once. Any help you can give me would be absolutely fantastic. One more thing, does it have air struts on the front and if so do i need to worry about those going out??

Replying to: MattyMo (Jan 11, 2009 5:53 pm) Then as MattyMo suggests, look at the plug, and orient the tab so it's facing "up." Having prepared a few inches of copper wire, jam one end into the left most tab of the connector, and the other end into the next tab on the connector - the left two tabs on the connectors. In my case, I could hear the compressor immediately. So I figured the problem must be the RELAY. So I plugged the connector back in, and decided just to double check by starting up, and with the break on, shifting into Drive. Viola! The compressor kicked in, and pumped up the rear end. I think others have commented that unplugging then replugging the relay can work ... by making a clean connection with the relay tabs ... in my case (after dozens of other things going wrong) it definitely worked this time! It's so easy to check, I keep the jumper wire in my glovebox. Props again to MattyMo for the original post.

 2000 Lincoln Navigator air compressor stays on. 2000 Lincoln Navi air pump stay on until check suspension light come on. (Note: In about one hour of driving). No leaks in airbags. Can turn off air pump and veh will stay up for days. Veh was fine until I had a radiator put in. |
