Back end of my 2001 Ford Expedition FWD, Eddie Bauer, was dragging. Had diagnostic test run and found out it needed a new air ride compressor. Had compressor installed, but compressor continues to run nonstop. I have been unplugging battery so battery doesn't run down. How long will the air compressor run for? I was told by dealership that as soon as the air compressor tank is full, the compressor will shut off. Dealership doesn't know how long this will take which I found strange. Back end of Expedition seems to be back to normal height that it was before problems began. Will this compressor eventually shut off?

The compressor should only run until the rear suspension reaches the desired height. If it continues to run after the suspension has raised to ride height then you may have a leaking air bag/solenoid or line. If you dont have any leaks it is possible the EVO(air suspension module} or relay is at fault.

How to change the AC compressor on a 2001 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer?
Remove dash inside to access as compressor. Discharge compressor then unbolt and replace. Use ac die to check for leaks then charge. reinstall dash after no leaks. This repair I do not recommend for the novice or semi novice mechanic as you can do more damage trying to replace a compressor then the high cost of the compressor. My new VW beetle's (just) Compressor runs about $1,200 dollars but at mechanic's price for part is half and rest is just mark-up! Remember that there is your price charged for a part and the mechanic's discounted price for that same part!

I have a 2000 ford expedition eddie bauer edition and my ck suspension light came on and the rear is at it's lowest how much will it cost me to have this reapired or replaced
OK, it sounds like the Ford Expedition from the year 2000 has either a leak in the system (air leak), or the compressor has gone bad causing it to not recover its normal ride height.

The shocks could be blown (air leak in them).

It depends on which component(s) in the system are damaged and need replaced to determine cost.

If you don't hear the compressor running to try to raise the vehicle, the height sensor on the rear axle could be damaged as well.

These are, of course, all of the possibilities that I can think of, off hand, that could be wrong with the system.

'99 eddie bauer, cold air in the rear hot air in
you may just be low on freon. The rear will often work ok when low, but the front won't

The same compressor serves both front and rear systems. Check that first.

ALso, check to see if your front blend door rotates when you raise & lower the temperature.

Diagram bypass heater cord on 2001 ford expedition eddie bauer
the heater bypass is quite simple, if you look at the firewall you will see two medium sized coolant lines, remove them from the firewall and link them together using a proper sized tube, you can purchase a kit at a parts store quite cheaply
