One of the easiest ways to check for leaking air struts, springs, or solenoids is to shut off the air suspension via the air suspension switch, which is often located either in the trunk or on the right side of the passenger foot well, and leave the vehicle sitting overnight. If you find your Expedition or Navigator has lowered a few inches or more, your probably have a leak somewhere in your air suspension. Hunting it down is as simple as letting your vehicle raise to its factory height, and spraying down your air struts, springs and lines with soapy water. If you notice any consistent bubbling from any component, you can be sure you have sprung a leak. Best of luck.

Sounds like everything's starting to go. These Navigators were FAMOUS for their poor quality air suspension. A lot of people are deciding to just ditch the air suspension altogether and just switch to standard coils. You can buy a kit like this one to do that. Really inexpensive and will last you at least through the life of the car.

How do I know if the suspension control module is bad in a 2005 lincoln navigator?

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.

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.

The rear end of my Lincoln Navigator will not raise.

could just be a seal on the air line itself, or possibly a whole in the line or one of th eleveling air bags. gong thru the water should'nt have any effect on it,unfortunately these are just like any other part, or seal they just eventually wear out.

My Lincoln Navigator air suspension went flat after we replaced all four tires, it won't air back up...please help!!!

AIR COIL SPRINGS WILL DEFLATE AND BE DAMAGED IF YOU DID NOT TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM BEFORE RAISING VECHICLE AND CHANGE TIRES IF YOU DONT TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION IT WILL CAUSE AIR SPRINGS TO OVER INFLATE CAUSE AIR SPRING SPRING DAMAGE.

2004 Lincoln nave, rear wheels jacked up high, front wheels normal, rides real rough??? any thoughts???? Thanks,

Replace the air suspension with conventional shock/strut
conversions. The Air Ride System is not worth investing
time and money ,after the vehicle is 5 years old.
Too expensive to maintain ,and too difficult to diagnose

Next time buy the Ford version of the vehicle

04 lincoln navigator, Air ride problem. Driverside front and rear bags appear fully inflated. The passenger side looks normal height. When I shut the truck off driverside stays jacked up and passenger side...

My suggestion to you and all the other folks leaving questions on this board about collapsed air suspension systems in luxury cars is to fix that one by replacing it with a real spring and shock system which you can buy at www.strutmasters.com if it is economically feasible, then sell it and avoid air suspensions systems like the plague. There are legions of old 70s Citroens still sitting idle 30 years later on collapsed air suspensions systems in garages and barns all over the country which cars the buyers can't let go because they cost so damn much. Get a coleman air mattress and use it every day, see how long it really lasts.

My air susp on 05 navigator is running but not lifting the truck it is sitting on the ground

I am sure you are not a dumb woman.
The parts on this site are for the '05 Navi.
http://www.suncoreindustries.com/english-lincoln-navigator-03-06-air-suspension.html
The two shocks they show have a small "air bag" on them. When you hear the pump running they should be filling up with air.The line should be connected to all of them to fill each air bag.
Next time you try it, have either yourself or someone else stick their head near the bottom of the vehicle and listen for leaking air. So either one of those is damaged or the line has a problem.
These may help too?

Need to change air suspension compresor of 1998 Lincoln Town Car

The compressor is next to the air box on the driver side under a plastic cover. One plug, two hoses and 3 bolts that hold it down. The hose on the top of the compressor is a quick release. Push in hose and hold red ring at bottom, and it should pull right out
