1998 Ford Crown Victoria Air shocks won't pump up

Many times this is a switch in the trunk. This switch is mounted in the left side of the trunk and is next to an air suspension switch if you have air ride.

The switch is called an inertia switch and has a reset button on it. Just press and hold the switch and it will reset and connect the power to the fuel pump.

leak in the bags or check valve bad or stuck.

Unhook the battery positive side for 10 minutes and then hook up the positive terminal and start the vehicle, the pump will start to work again.

HOW BROKE IN A 1998 CROWN VIC TRUNK

Check the pump. it is located under the wiper fluid container. Thats where I would start. are you interested in selling it? I'm looking for a black 96 with low miles...

Air ride suspension basically works like this. you have a small air compressor and a sensor that connects between the rear axle and the under body Frame. When this sensor detects a load movement like more or less weight it turns on the air compressor to air up or opens a exhaust valve to let air out. most common problems with this system. broken or disconnected sensor. leak in the air lines between compressor and shocks. or a bad or weak compressor.

YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IF YOU HAVE AUTOMATIC LEVELING AIR SPRINGS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SAFELY RAISE SUPPORT VECHICLE ON JACK STANDS REMOVE THE OLD SHOCKS. PRIME NEW SHOCKS PUMP THEM UP COMPRESS PUT ON VECHICLE.DONT FORGOT TO TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM FIRST IF YOU DONT THE AIR COIL SPRINGS WILL OVER EXTEND PUMP MORE AIR IN SPRINGS CAUSE DAMAGE TO AIR SPRINGS.

Sounds like the problem is in the air bag suspension, not the compressor. The air bags shouldn't be losing air when the car sits. The compressor adjusts the suspension level according to the load. The air bags have a valve similar to a blow up raft that allows air to pass through both ways. If when the car is running the compressor is constantly running and not turning off, the issue is within the air bags and/or the air line.

most likely someone unhooked it due to some part being bad in the system and even possiable that the air bags have been removed and coil springs installed

is the switch in the trunk turned on?
