Arnott air springs (towncar/limo), new

[lifespeed]

These are brand-new Arnott air bags with aluminum base. I installed them for about two weeks, but during the suspension troubleshooting process (shock valving, sway bar travel limitations) I removed them and replaced with OEM.

So now I have a near-new set of air springs sitting in my garage. They retail for $250/pair. I'll let these go for $150 plus shipping.

These are new, not used take-offs from someone's 100K mile car!

I have 03 marauder with back hanging low. My friend hotwired pump and it kicked in but nothing happened to rear. He tried filling manually and it still didnt work. He thinks it is a short or something blocking air from flowing to rear bags? Any suggestions? I thought about converting because I do not want to take chance and buy air pump/bags and it doesnt work

Solenoids must open to fill the bags. I suggest you fix it, not switch to coils.

Any suggestions on how I would get solenoids to open? I apologize in advance as I am not mechanically savvy. I have a friend who knows more that is helping out.

If neither your compressor or solenoids work (just guessing based on what you've posted so far) that implies the entire system is dead, possibly electrically.

I've not had to troubleshoot the electric portion of my air suspension, so can't be of much help going from memory.

I suggest you get the shop manual for the car, or at least the electrical diagram for the air suspension, and follow basic troubleshooting procedures. Post in the "Shop talk (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=24)" forum as there are likely people there who have had to work on the electrical side of this system.

Is your air suspension light in the dash on? Have you checked the fuse or power to the compressor? Post as much info as you can. The fact that you had to hotwire the compressor to get it to run is suspicious.

Air Suspension light is on. I did check fuses/relay and they are good. I don't know if bags are good. When the air pump was hotwired no results , either bags are bad or something like solenoids or anything else in between is not working. It seems like it could be a lot of work? Thats only reason I was considering coils. I did coils before on a lincoln towncar and it was fine but I am not sure how the Marauder will handle

New air springs still for sale.

$140, get them out of my garage and into your Marauder.

Check the ON/OFF switch in the trunk.

Got 'em. Thanks!

Check the ON/OFF switch in the trunk.

That's what I was going to suggest but it seemed too easy of an answer
