Low rear suspension on my 1999 Cadillac DeVille

The rear suspension on my 1999 Cadillac DeVille raises when I start it and when I have passengers/weight in the back. But after a few minutes the rear suspension drops and is really low. Seems like the air suspension is working but it doesn't last.

Do you hear your compressor running? It may be that it is getting tired and ready to burn out on you. I replaced the compressor twice on my Deville before I found that there were so many holes and nicks in the air bags and it was going to cost me almost $1500 to fix the whole system. I went online and found Strutmasters. I got a non air conversion kit for my car and love it. Saved me money and headache.

Need to locate the air pump that supplies the rear shocks.

The pump is back under the rear of car, but by now, the shocks are sure to be leaking, which causes the pump to run too much burning it up. Best fix is to replace rear shocks with coils and dump the self leveling feature, or prepare to pay big bucks to replace most components.

Rear suppenion low to the ground

There is an air compressor mountedmabove the rear suspension. The fuse for the air ride suspension is located behind the trunk rear trim panel. There is a level sensor on the rear control arm. If fuse is good, check for power at plug feeding compressor, compressor failure common. With suspesion at low position, sensor should send power to compressor. if no power suspect height sensor. Check relay for power and operation although failure rare.

Why is my cadillac rear so low

You may have a leak in the rear air bags or the compressor for the air bags is not working,listen when you turn on the key to see if you can hear the compressor run ,if you do then likely the bags,if not then likely the compressor.

My cadillac 1999 deville is up in the back,and i don't know why

Up, as in suspension? The leveling valve linkage may have come loose and the suspension has over inflated. The valve should be above the rear axle

My cadillac is raise up in the back very high whats the problem its a 1999 and i still hear the air shock

Check to see if the lever is connected to the rear suspension still. Look for a small rod disconnected. If not remove the rod and move it to lower the car.
