Ok do you here the compressor running if the truck is all the way down the sensors should be telling the computer that and it should constantly keep trying to raise the suspension if you don't hear it check the fuses and relays at the power distribution box if you do hear it the orings seals are bad and the spring farthest away will fill up first unless it's leaking if it is the truck will not come up to check inspect the bags for tares in them if none and the compressor is cycling go from the front to the back spraying soapy water at the lines if no bubbles now go to the air springs and do the same thing the bags first then the solenoid valves that fit into the top of the air bag so you know whenever these vehicles are worked on and the bags are deflated you must change the o rings seals everytime and if you put to much wieght in the truck with people or cargo you blow them out ok if you jack up the truck to take wieght of the springs they will take some air and that's when you spray the soapy solution as you release the jack the pressure on the bag will increase forcing air out of the weak spot which will show as a bubble ok good luck stephen

Yea definitely sounds like computer failure. For about half the price of just the new computer you can put a brand new coil suspension on that Navigator and never worry about it again. These Navigators and the Expeditions from that same year range all had awful issues with the air suspension. Check these guys out:

No it wont. the air suspension works as a complete system. each air spring has an electric solenoid, each corner has an electric height sensor and then the compressor itself. just energizing the compressor will not open the solenoids or sensors both of which are needed to raise the vehicle. what is probably happening is a failure in the computing system for the suspension system. expensive to repair.

Front raises but back does not

Had this issue as well. Problem was with airbags and compressor. Ended up replacing air ride suspension with coil springs.

Air suspension is to height

Bad height sensor or air suspension compressor has died? If you hear the pump, then it might be the sensors. If there's nothing, could be a blown fuse or the system was swtiched off (switch in the trunk)

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.

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.

On a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. Where is the suspension compressor relay located. My vehicle was working fine. After I stopped to get something to eat, as I turn my vehicle On the lights flickered and the air...

Okay the switch is in the back trunk area(I know it a SUV) in the back where you access the jacking tool youll see the switch make sure its on. Now some Navigator some have a shrader valve to pump up the suspension on the front area on driver side. As for the relay you might have to use a enhance scan tool to command it.By the way do you have a misfire?because if there is a misfire it will not inflate or a ABS light on? thse will also cause the suspension to not inflate

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.

Forgot toi turn the air suspension off when

Remove battery, remove windshield washer bottle, remove air compressor and disconnect both air lines from the compressor dryer. Make sure compressor electrical wiring is plugged in, install battery, turn suspension switch to ON, turn ignition switch to the ON position, close all door and the compressor should come on and completely lower the whole truck. Once the truck is completely down, turn the ignition OFF, remove battery and connect both air lines. Install battery ensure electrical wiring is plugged in, turn ignition switch to ON, the compressor should come on and raise the vehicle to the correct ride height.
