can anyone help me with my car?

Question

I have a 1991 Lincoln Town Car and the air bags on the back need inflated for the ride suspension how and where on this car can I do this?

Answer 1

I read over the answers and I was so surprised no one said to convert the system to standard springs. I would not spend the money on a 1991 car to have the air suspension system fixed unless it was a really low mileage all original car. There are kits that a mechanic can install which would replace all the air suspension components with conventional coil springs and you won't have to be bothered again.

Answer 2

Rear Air Suspension System
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic load
leveling rear air suspension system. This system
maintains the rear vehicle height at a constant level
by automatically adding air or releasing air from the
rear air springs to offset changes in vehicle loads.
A shutoff switch is located in the trunk on the right
hand vertical trim panel. If this switch is in the
OFF position, the automatic leveling system will not
operate. The switch should be OFF whenever
hoisting, towing or jacking up the vehicle. “CHECK
AIR SUSPENSION” will appear in the message
center when the ignition switch is in the ON
position, and either the shutoff switch is in the OFF
position, or a system fault has been detected.
Normal vehicle operation does not require any
action by the driver.

SInce your car is a 1991, I would crawl under it and check the hoses. There is a compressor that automatically load levels the car and possible a sensor is out. I am sure any shade tree mechanic can cut the hose and splice on a valve so you can fill them. You can also take it to a tire shop or a muffler shop cause they do suspensions also, and you can probly get it checked for free. If you decide to take it in to adealer, carry a pocket full of $$$$$$, cause I am sure that will not be cheap!!!

Answer 4

most lincoln cars with air suspension use an automatic system that level the car when it too low- ,there is -an air pump ,a dryer, an height sensor and the module that level the car automaticly.if one of this fail -it won,t work.most of the time it ,s always the height sensor problem if you have an air suspension light check.to pump it up yourself you ,ve to jack the car and use a hand pump and check valve to keep the air inside the bags

Answer 5

I am going to assume that the pump doesn't work.
If it is automatic level ride then the pump should kick on by itself, check for blown fuse in your fuse cluster.
If it has aftermarket airbags look under the rear bumper for a air valve to put air in it. It would be just like the kind you put air in a tire with.

Answer 6

Sometimes there is a filling nozzle near the license plate in the rear of the car. Other times, there is one near to or under the rear fender on either one side or the other.

Some times the nozzle is long enough to be brought out past either the tire well or the back bumper or the license plate.

Good Luck !!

Answer 7

First the fuse under the hood is burnt, and or the air pump is burnt. If you hear the air pump motor running, and the car doesn't go up you have a bad leak

Answer 8

That is computer controlled. There is an air compressor that does it. You have an actuator that is not working and/or a computer problem. Got to a reputable mechanic that can do computer read outs or go to a dealer.

Answer 9

It is done by your car automatically. Check to be sure a blown fuse is not preventing normal operation.

Answer 10

Actually if you do anything to it the warranty will not be accepted so take it to a place where they do that
