#141 of 161 Re: Coil Over Conversion [tamitab100] by cvieni May 31, 2009 (8:59 am)
Replying to: tamitab100 (May 31, 2009 5:13 am) Recent instructions sent to me recently with the coil over conversion kit I ordered. The following procedure should work to have the dash board light go out.   Pull the fuse to compressor, leave solenoids and ride height sensors plugged in.   In order to turn off the suspension light you must access the Suspension Control Module and cut the DARK GREEN WIRE with the LIGHT GREEN STRIPE.   The suspension control module is located behind the radio, which is accessed by carefully removing the hatch cover on the top of the dash board.

Replying to: tamitab100 (May 31, 2009 5:13 am) After my conversion, Suncore changed their instructions and specify leaving the solenoids in place. To regain the power steering assist, I reconnected the cut wire and have left the light on. Unfortunately for me the solenoids were already thrown away.

#144 of 161 Compressor Runs alot by rwchil Jun 18, 2009 (6:06 am)
I just got a 99 Navigator. When I first drove it the compressor seemd to run for a short time and then shut off and stay off. Now it seems to run most of the time. How much should it run? Is running most of time an indicator of a developing problem?   Thanks for your help.

#146 of 161 Air suspension disaster by perduedd Aug 20, 2009 (11:12 am)
I own a 98 Navigator that the check suspension light would go on and out sometimes on. The compressor runs a lot and sounds loud and rough. the compressor even run when the car is off and is unattended at times. I ran over a speed bump one night and the next morning the rear was drop on the tires. The compressor didn't come on when I started the vehicle. I've checked to see if any electrical part was disconnected due to the speed bump. I took out the compressor thinking its the place I should start. Any suggestion before I start to spend unnecessary money and other procedures I can try.....   ANY help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Replying to: lincoln03 (Dec 21, 2008 11:34 am) I am considering saving myself alot of time, money and frustration by switching to the Arnott Inc coil conversion kit. My 05" navigator drops so that is sitting directly on top of the tire on the passenger side. I have replaced the air spring, upper hardware mount, ,also referred to as the cap, o-rings and the solenoid. The dealer says it passes the pnuematic tests it is just a very slow leak that they were not able to pinpoint. Their solution is to replace the cap on the other side. I am skeptical and reluctant to throw more money at it.   The problem is drops all the down after it has been parked for about 30 minutes. I have to sit with my foot on the brake and put it drive and wait 1-2 minutes before it reinflates and I can drive away.   So, What has been your experience with the conversion? Are you happy with it. Does it ride alot harder than the air? Any other side effect? Does it ride the same height as the Air? Do you have any suspension problem indicator messages?   Thanks Replies to this message: lincoln03 (Aug 23, 2009 12:28 am) perduedd (Aug 23, 2009 10:59 am) lincoln03 (Aug 23, 2009 10:13 pm) ss1 (Sep 03, 2009 7:19 pm) nando2009 (Sep 25, 2009 8:33 pm)

Replying to: ss1 (Aug 22, 2009 11:34 am) The Kit I got is from Suncore. I had it installed while my nav was at the body shop. The height is about the same or about 1/2 inch higher than with air. At first you can tell the difference between the air and spring system but after a month or so the springs soften up. If you never experienced the air shock ride you would not know the difference with springs. As for the light, most kits come with instructions on how to turn off the dash indicator. I chose to turn the switch off at the rear of the vehicle and that shuts the air system off. If not the compressor will come on and off as it should. What that did was disable the system but I have a steady message at the dash that states "air system shut off." That does not bother me at all. I will have to wait for winter to see how it handles in cold weather.   Overall, I am happy with the conversion. Now I do not worry about forking over all that money everytime a component of the air system goes bad. Replies to this message: perduedd (Aug 23, 2009 10:59 am) lincoln03 (Aug 23, 2009 10:13 pm)

Replying to: lincoln03 (Aug 23, 2009 12:28 am) How much was labor cost to install the conversion kit? How long did it take them to put it on? Replies to this message: lincoln03 (Aug 23, 2009 10:13 pm)

Replying to: perduedd (Aug 23, 2009 10:59 am) Since it was already at the bodyshop getting some work done they did it for me for $100. It should be around $350 $400 if you take it to a shop though. A good shop can do it in about 3 hours.
