RobertR Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 check the ride height sensor. Is the air ride light on? Check all the couplers for leaks paying close attention to the line below your master cylinder. BMW 325i Kenwood KVT-647DVD re xxx components re 6.5 FR's 2 RE XXX 12's 2 US amps MD3D's 2 batcap 4k's
Rev. Wrath Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 My personal opinion on the Lincoln air ride, change out the air bags for regular coil springs. strutmasters.com should have everything you need to do it. The air ride system will continually fail, coil springs are pretty much good for the life of the car. Both systems that I've replaced have had a bypass for the light on the dash too. Edit: The ride probably won't be that much different either. In the long run, it's more cost efficient to just change to coils than it is to keep dropping money into the air ride system.

RobertR Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Check your rear ride height sensor.(wire brush and parts cleaner) After that I would check the solenoids in the SCM (suspension control module) If they are stuck open the pump will run but the air just dumps out. Rev. Wraith is also correct If you want to save your self the hassle and expense of going through this again down the road then cruise on over to strut masters.

Pioneerchuck Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 It sounds like the ride height sensors are the problem. However there are relays and fuses you'll need to check. And if you had a shop replace the bags, make sure they replaced them with the right bags. If you get under the truck and the bags are completely inflated and the truck is still sitting on its ass, then obviously you have a problem. Also if you can, check to make sure air is getting to the bags. Take one of the air lines off at the bag and make sure air is making its way to the end of the line.
