    Air compressor bad!?!?!

    Left my car sitting for 2 days with about 300 lbs of stuff in it (moved to nc). Come back to get the car and about 5 minutes down the road notice my air suspension light on. Had my wife pull next to me and the car seemed at a normal level so I continued driving approx 3 hours.get to the house, unload everything and car goes back to normal level. Get back in the car to day and the same thing happens, this time accompanied with harsh ride since I wasn't on the freeway. Noticed car was bottomed out in the rear so I drove it home and started researching. Found the Lincoln troubleshooting page for air ride and found even with pins 30 and 87 jumpered on the air suspension relay under the hood (#303)compressor would not cut on so I'm looking for replacements, am I safe in assuming it's the compressor and not the module??

    Could be a bad pump or a bad connection elsewhere.

    Where in N.C. did you move to?

    Giving up already? The air suspension is one of the premium features of the car. Most on this board would recommend fixing it.

    Your car though.

    Check the relay under the hood if you haven't already.....they tend to self destruct over time!!

    My AC compressor one and the air suspension one have been replaced for the same "no run" or intermittent problems!!

    Good Luck in "Earnhardtville"!!
