97 Lincoln suspension Sign In

O K, you have heard it before, the lincoln fell down. Air suspension works 97% of the time. Up one morning - stays up couple of days, then falls down. What areas to check first? Must be a check valve close to the compressor or somewhere. It will stay up for long periods of time (days) then fall. Start it up & comes back up for who knows how long? Thanks

Checklist for this:

* Switch must be left "on" (in trunk)

* Leaks in any lines or the air springs

* Parked on same surface all the time? At high angles? That could confuse it.

I think sensor is right on rear trailing arm to frame. It must be in good shape, clean connections etc.,

T, I know it's been a while since this post but we were involved in an ice storm that lasted quite some time. The Lincoln never made it to my place, hit black ice & totaled . No one injured, airbags deployed perfectly, deemed a total. Was a very nice car kept in mint cond.

Chickenhouse; Man, that's a shame, but thank God no one was injured. The car can be replaced. At least, you don't have to spend the money to get the air suspension fixed?Unsure
