In this video, I am trying to diagnose and adjust the rear air suspension sensors on a 2003 GMC Envoy. The ... images for envoy where is the air suspension switch

This is a very complicated and expensive system to maintain. I would strongly recommend doing a air suspension conversion on your Navigator and be done with the problem forever.

Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Conversion 03 06

If the seals are worn how can the suspension hold air pressure? Sounds to me like the height sensor is bad and/or maybe some part of the system was damaged while up on the lift.

why does my 2006 cls500 have light car too low

Hello, Something is not right here. The Catalytic converter is not part of the steering system. First, I advise you to check your Lugnuts to see if they are tight. Sometimes a mechanic needs to remove a wheel to access the exhaust system.

When your vehicle was moved onto the lift, some suspension parts could have been damaged. If you have Air suspension, it was suppose to be turned off before the vehicle was lifted. When the vehicle was driven on or off the lift, low hanging parts could have been smashed if supporting parts of the lift were not cleared out of the way. If you do not drive very far, the scratches under the vehicle should verify damage.

You did not indicate a Brand or Model of your vehicle. The rack and pinion (a main part of the steering) may have been removed to give access to the Catalytic converter.

I would contact the Repair shop and give them a chance to tow your vehicle safely into their shop for inspection. If the Catalytic converter was damaged by a wreck or Road hazard, you could have damaged the steering at the same time.

I hope you find my solution very helpful.

my 2005 lincoln navigator air suspension doesnt want to work how do i make it lift up?

I have seen this before. They put car on lift which lets suspension drop. When they set it back down the Air ride leveling rods get stuck and think they need to stay full. Like what was already mentioned, check your levelers located next to your suspension air bags to see if they are stuck.

this car has rear air bags.(instead of coil springs perched on top of the rear end)the air suspension switch needs to be shut off whenever either or both rear wheels will be hanging free(ie. changing a rear tire or putting the car on a lift where the lift is not a "drive-on"ramp type lift.there is a height sensor near the rear end and what sometimes happens if someone "jacks up" the rear of the car without turning the air suspension switch OFF the air bags can be damaged and might need to be replaced.FIRST check all the fuses and make sure the switch is turned ON and start the car and let it run.with the hood open you should hear an air compressor running near the air filter box.if its not running sometimes ther will be a "schrader valve "similar to a tire valve on the comressor.try putting air in with an air hose like you would with a tire.if that does not work there should be a connector(probably in the trunk near the air bag switch) that you can get CODES out of with a scan tool .the code(s) will point you in the right direction as to what went bad(most likely the air bags) the air bags are like BIG RUBBER BALLOONS/BLADDERS that can get pinholes over time and leak or even blow out.hope this helps you.
