auto shop diagnosed bad motor on air suppension. I have some mechanic ability. Although I have never had a car with rear air suppension. Would like to hear from anyone with information, about replacing the air sensor motor. Is it difficult to replace , I have many mechanical tools. Its a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis. With rear air suppension and the motor has gone out.

thisjob should be cake. The motor and compressor unit is located underthe hood on the drivers side, It has one wireing harness to pluge into the motor and a small nylon line that will run back to your rear air shocks. It will be bolted with 7/16 bolts, probley 3 or 4 and its simply remove and replace. I bet you won't even get dirty. The motor and compressor of not sold as a unit should be changed together

REPLACING JUST THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION MOTOR IS NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL.
IT TAKES ABOUT 1 HOUR AND IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE AIR LINE THAT GOES TO IT AND THIS IS DONE BY PUSHING IN AND THEN PULLING OUT.

Check the fuses first.
A shop MAY have told you it was the motor so they could charge you more to fix it.
ADDED:
It could be the relay under the hood too.........
