My air suspension does not work.MikeZinChico - 1991 Lincoln Town Car - Steering & Suspension - 12/12/2012The compressor turns on and runs for 2 minutes, and shuts off, illuminating the 'air suspension' light on the dash. It seems the compressor itself is fine, I'm guessing it's the rear height sensor, but not sure. I don't think I have a leak, as the car is all the way ...-
8/28/2012 JimmSeveral possibilities; leaking suspension air bag, faulty air bag connection or hoses, or faulty system control relay or fuse.
Check your owners manual for the air suspension switch location. Usually in the trunk. Turn it off and back on and see if that fixes it. -
12/12/2012 gqherb7160It's best to just get a conversion kit and change out your air suspension with new coil springs and shock absorber for the rear axle. Your air suspension problems will stop. I brought my air conversion for (190.00) from Advance Auto Parts Online. You can go to You Tube and the video would show you how to do it. It's very easy than replacing brakes shoes.

9/26/2012 HouseCallAutoIf the compressor is not turning on, make sure the height sensor linkage has not come off leaving the height sensor disconnected. the height sensor is at the rear of the car attached to one of the upper control arms. Check the fuse also (engine compartment fuse panel - fuse U - 30 amp) . if the compressor runs but the car is slow to level out or does not level out, get the car on ramps (safely) and with the key turned on and engine off, spray the air bags with windex and look for foaming at the folds near the bottom of the bag or bags indicating air leakage. replace the bags as needed. buy online at strutmasters.com as few sites seem to sell the bags at all and some sites want too much.

My air suspension all seems to be working but rear wont raise at first it was blowing fuses i would replace and it workdstumped - 1994 Lincoln Town Car - Steering & Suspension - 9/10/2012is there any way to get a diagram of the whole system so i know what im looking for as far as height sensors ect.would appreciate any help
-
9/10/2012 HouseCallAutoNo diagrams here. Question: Do you hear the air compressor turn on AT ALL? If not >>
1. Verify the main 30A fuse in the engine compartment fuse box is present and has battery voltage on both sides.
2. If the fuse is OK, go to the air suspension module in the trunk. Ground pin 23 Dark Blue/Yellow (DB/YE) and verify the compressor relay in the engine compartment fuse box clicks and that the compressor runs.
3. If the relay clicks, but the compressor doesn't run, check for battery voltage to the compressor on the Purple/Orange (P/O) wire with the DB/YE still grounded.
4. If battery voltage is present on the P/O wire, check for a ground on the Black (BK) wire. If power and ground are both OK, but the compressor is not running, replace the compressor and retest.
