You can easily repair your Expedition by converting your air system to a non air conversion system from Strutmasters.com. I replaced the system on my Navigator with one of the conversion kits and I loved it. My wife was happy because I saved money. I was happy because it fixed the car and took a lot less time than dealing with these air parts and trying to find the real reason it was not working. I would strongly recommend checking out Strutmasters conversion kits for your ride too.

The less expensive way to fix your air suspension problem would be to give Strutmasters a call. I called them about my 98 Ford Expedition and the Customer Service Team was very helpful through out the entire process, even helped me with the installation - which was actually very easy to. I converted all 4 wheels over to their passive conversion kit. I love it!

2010 Ford Expedition Can someone tell me where the air suspension compressor relay is? Not talking about a relay in the fuse box but the other one that has two bolt holes in it and a pigtail running in it....

I have not looked at your part but there usually is a plastic panel cover on one of the rear quarter panels inside the rear cargo area. Sometimes it is paired with the inertia switch relay.

Wanted to inform you that some of the better scanners can diagnose Air suspension problems. Some of the big auto-parts stores offer free scans but few use the better scanner. Call ahead.

Hello: Thanks for your advice on a 1999 Ford Expedition fuse location for the air suspension. Compressor has been making noise, going on too long and having general difficulty blowing the 50 amp fuse. ...

Hi,
I have an alternate suggestion. I've had several Ford Products with those compressors in the. A 1990 and 1994 Continental with complete Air Suspension systems in the. And several Lincoln Town cars with air suspension systems for the rear wheels. Most of the time when these vehicles go to the grave yard, the compressors have out-lived them. I would go to the Junk yard and get one for a song and take to a local garage (not the dealer) and have it installed. You may even be able to do it yourself.
I have seen no variation in the design of the ones I've seen except for the air manifold. I would get one that was used in an Lincoln Town Car because it was used for leveling the rear suspension.
The air manifold in it would be very similar, if not identical, to your vehicle.
After all, The only thing an Air compressor "sees" is air.
I hope this suggestion is helpful to you.
Happy New Year,
Mark

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...

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.

The rear suspension is down on my 1999 Ford Expedition - Eddie Bauer. The cause: while out in the woods I came across a small dip which cause my back left wheel to lift off the ground. The suspension...

I had a 1999 Expedition. When you put the 4x4 on it raises the vehicle an extra inch or 2.
It may help to turn the 4x4 off. Two wheel drive is a lower air setting.
Your original pump may still be good. The problem can be in the front. The compressor is not filling the front suspension to the cutoff point. It will lift the rear after the front end is at running height. Since you lost the front end first, the remaining air bled out there and then the rear came down. Once you shut down the car the suspension was done, all the air was let go.
There are adjustment solenoids on the body but you need someone qualified to repair this.
