Where is the rear suspension switch on a 1999 lincoln navigator?

I just want to check to see if that is the problem, I think my front compressor went out because it stopped making noise. I am riding low in the rear and I know that the air bags are good. I just want to check all of the switches and relays and fuses before I purchase another air ride suspension compressor with dryer.

SOURCE: 2001 lincoln navigator rear suspension?

Here is how to tell if system is working.Get into the vehicle and close door. Set ignition switch to on position and move the gear shifter to neutral. After a few secs. you should hear the compressor turn on. If it comes on then put shifter back to park leave ignition on and exit vehicle. Compressor will stop when you open the door but should start back up in a couple of secs. after you close the door. You can then walk around the vehicle and listen for leaks.
If compressor does not come on there are 3 fuses and a solid state relay that controls it along with the module.
The 3 fuses are no. 109(50amp) in the battery junction box under hood.This is the direct feed to compressor thru the solid state relay. The other 2 fuses are located in the interior fuse panel and they are no. 6 (5amp) and no. 12(15amp).
What we usually see though if compressor does not run is either a bad compressor or the solid state relay. They both are rather expensive so I would have an experience tech look at it then.
However If you feel confident enough and have a voltmeter or test light respond back and I will tell you which wires to check.

2008 lincoln navigator check air suspension rear

A technician or mechanic can check this, but the most common problems are:
1) An electrical failure of some part, for example the switch or the relay that activates the compressor, or
2) the compressor itself could have failed.
God bless your efforts.

Can the front suspension problem be due to the compressor

If the rear suspension is not affected its probably a leak or a front height sensor.

WHERE IS THE REAR HEIGHT SENSOR ON 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR

Usually between the frame and the rear axles. A lever type device, should be fairly easy to locate. Check that the compressor is building air pressure and storage tank. Air bags not leaking and etc.

Troubleshooting Suspension failure 2000 Lincoln Navigator

I have owned several air suspension vehicles. My Expedition was similar to yours. You may want to try the 4x4 switch because it will raise the body 1-2 inches higher. Checking its fuse would not hurt.

On most of my vehicles the suspension would work end to end, raising the front first. You could have 2 issues with the suspension. There should be valving to switch the air to the rear suspension after the front is up. I would wait longer for the rear to catch up.

If I had to guess why the front lifts first it would be to get the front off of the curbs and sidewalks when you park so the bottom doesn't drag.

There is a diagnostic plug for the air suspension and sometimes Autozone or Oreillys have the scanner for that special plug. If not, some alignment shops and all dealers would have it. Also Ford parts are often the same as Lincoln and cheaper., Someone may make aftermarket parts at a better price.

Rear suspension

Theres an air compressor switch located under the glove box behind a kick panel on the passenger side. If I were you I'd just check it to see if it's off. If it is then thats your problem. It might have got turned off inadvertantly. That happened to me, but once I turned the switch on good as new.
