Yes, under the right front wheelwell there is a Relay for the Compressor. It is lower than the compressor but in the wheelwell. Check it for corrosion or it just may be burnt out.

If you want a quick fix, the system does have a Diagnostic plug but usually only the Dealer has the machine to test it. The nachine only works on Ford products and some Independent shops will not buy a machine that does not do all the cars.

I understand American suspension.com has parts for this. You can check with other Parts stores.

There is an off/on switch in the drivers side rear cargo panel. If you recently had it jacked up, the Mechanic may have forgotten to turn it back on.

2000 lincoln navigator air suspension will not deflate

There is a Master deflate valve that is usually mounted on the drivers side under the front fender wheel well. That is if your compressor is not turning off.

The dump valve gets a signal when a door opens to lower the car for loading or unloading.

With electric work being what it is, a really good diagnostic machine can plug into your air controlled ride system and quickly and accurately spot the bad part.

It is cheaper to buy 1 correct part than several wrong part guesses.

Air suspension does not work

The best way to fix Air ride issues is to get a conversion kit. We paid $200 online for ours and my husband installed the new parts. We were told fixing the air ride could cost upwards of $3000. Experience from several people told us that parts on the air ride go out quickly once it starts having problems. Ours rides just as well as before and we will never have another air ride problem again. Our Navigator is AWD 4x4.

2000 lincoln navigator. my husband changed the whole compressor for the air suspension. the car no longer 'low rides', but i hear a constant buzzing. it goes on and off constantly. it's not...

The buzzing is probably the compressor. You may have a bad air line somewhere. Or, you may have a bad solenoid. These can be check with an ohmmeter.

2004 Lincoln nave, rear wheels jacked up high, front wheels normal, rides real rough??? any thoughts???? Thanks,

Replace the air suspension with conventional shock/strut
conversions. The Air Ride System is not worth investing
time and money ,after the vehicle is 5 years old.
Too expensive to maintain ,and too difficult to diagnose

Next time buy the Ford version of the vehicle

04 lincoln navigator, Air ride problem. Driverside front and rear bags appear fully inflated. The passenger side looks normal height. When I shut the truck off driverside stays jacked up and passenger side...

My suggestion to you and all the other folks leaving questions on this board about collapsed air suspension systems in luxury cars is to fix that one by replacing it with a real spring and shock system which you can buy at www.strutmasters.com if it is economically feasible, then sell it and avoid air suspensions systems like the plague. There are legions of old 70s Citroens still sitting idle 30 years later on collapsed air suspensions systems in garages and barns all over the country which cars the buyers can't let go because they cost so damn much. Get a coleman air mattress and use it every day, see how long it really lasts.
