SOURCE: air suspension on my grand marquis comes on with engine off

What is probably going on is the air suspension has a leak so the compressor is breaking down. So it will run at odd times trying to make up for the times it can not run. What you need to do is look for a conversion kit. The conversion will stop all problems that you are having now and you will never have to worry about it again. I would recommend strutmasters.com. They have great prices and there kits are guaranteed to last the life of the car. I posted the link below so you can take a look.

SOURCE: Check Air Suspension for 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis

It sounds to me like your compressor got killed. What probably happened is that the airbag got a hole or tiny crack in it so the compressor has to work extra hard because it is like blowing up a balloon with a hole in it. Therefor the airbag killed the compressor. I would recommend going to strutmasters.com and taking a look at our conversion kits. these convert you from the airbag to a powder coated American made steel coil spring that is guaranteed to last the life of the car. I added the link below so you can check it out.

If you haven't fixed this problem yet. There is a connection under the passengers side bumper that gets oxidized. A little electrode grease will fix this right up. You can email me at [email protected] for further help

SOURCE: 1999 Merc Gr Marquis: Air Suspension Warn Light / compressor

Try calling several Autozone stores and see if the have a scanner for the air suspension.

There are height adjustment sensors under the car and it may be that a sensor got smashed or failed. I remember reading this tech stuff about 20 years ago for a 1988 LSC. As long as the air is not leaking and the compressor runs its a plus.

I always recommend going to a Salvage yard and asking about the parts and asking if I can look at where the parts go. That way you are not tearing up your car trying to do something you don't have tools for.

Air suspension compressor sounds bad and wont pump up the rear on a 2003 mercury grand marquis

What is odd is the compressor stopping after so short a time. It may be your only problem.

When you have a leak in the system, the compressor keeps running because the sensors do not signal for it to shut off. On your vehicle it is either being told to shut off prematurely or the compressor is triggering a circuit breaker.

There are ride height sensors on the rear. If the vehicle was lifted without turning off the Air ride, the sensors may have been stretched.

You can check for air leaks in the suspension bags, and air lines using a spray bottle of soapy water. There is also a Master dump valve that should be ahead of the Drivers front tire/radiator well area. It is not a concern unless there is no pressure in the system.

Finally, just as the engine can express diagnostic Codes, so can the suspension. You need a better scanner to do this function. It is the quickest way to find the problem.

Please rate my info.

Dash-board Warning Light says "CHECK AIR SUSPENSION". So, I've tried pushing that AIR SUSPENSION SWITCH inside the trunk; but nothing happens = the Rear End of my 1997 Grand Marquis is still "hanging" LOW....

the drier on the pump needs to be replaced every few years, but few people ever do. you could have a leaky bag if the pump runs a lot, or the pump fuse might be blown, or the drier clogged. the switch in the trunk is only for when you raise the car on a lift, leaving the rear axle hanging.

How can i manually put air in my air shock? i have a 2003 Mercy Grand Marquis

It's all computer controlled with the system including an air compressor, relay,air dryer,exhaust solenoid, control module, height sensor and a pair of air adjustable rear shocks. I personally wouldn't mess around with it.

1995 grand marqui won't air up

They may have hit something underneath with the lift table.
You might want to check the fuse panel and switch the suspension button off and on a few times. It should have coded on the dash.
The dealer should have a diagnostic plug to fit your vehicle. Its the least he could do to diagnose a problem he may have caused.

The compressor is in the drivers front sitting low on the frame and about even with the oil filter on the engine. Remember it may still have pressure.
