Air suspension issue

[Motorhead350]

It will take a while for the bags to get air. The fuse is good. Sometimes I drive for a good 10 minutes before the suspension is at the proper level. Other times it will be low when I am about to park it.

The suspension never fully goes down to having no air, but it get's close to it. I checked the wires and I hear it work. Could the compressor simply be on it's way out and it's SLOWLY working? Both sides effected.

Is there something else I should check?

Any advice on the suspension appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Does it seem like the compressor is running either more often or for longer than usual?

When the car is at "normal" height, try shutting off the RAS switch in the trunk and see if it holds that height. It should hold for weeks if there are no issues.

I will give that a try.

Thanks Bob.

Sounds dumb, but check your tires. If the PSI is not even on all the tires this can create issues with the air suspension cycling.

Don't mean to hijack, but does anyone know if the compressor has a relief valve that can go bad and let air out? For example, say motorhead trouble shoots by letting the airbags fill up and shuts off the switch and the bags hold air for weeks, but when the system is on it let's air out randomly

The vent solenoid, which is mounted to the compressor, can only vent if the air bag solenoids are open as well.

I'll check it all out. I am due for newer rear tires, but drifting around the city is just too much fun to give up!

Played with the switch and have tires fully inflated. Nothing. Looks like the pump went out. Last one cost $36 from a 1996 Town Car and lasted about 4 years, maybe longer. I think I got my moneys worth.

Hello everyone. I haven't posted in a while. Sorry for butting in to a month old thread, but The quote above caught my attention.

It's 95 degrees plus here in North Georgia, so the Marauder (black) has been in the garage for the last few weeks. My suspension leaks down in about two or three days.

Is there something easy I can check, or is it time to take it to someone?

Mine stays pumped up. It does adjust sometimes when I get in the car in the morning, but the rear remains pumped up.
