Welcome to the Horror of air suspension. Nice ride when it works, but very expensive when it breaks. I replaced the air pump once, but had problems with it after. So, I found that the best thing to do was just to remove the air bags in the rear and disconnect the pump. Problem, where do you find the right parts for replacement. Answer is at Strutmasters.com 1-866-597-2397 They are in Roxboro, N.C. You can fix the air suspension, although it will be very expensive. Most of the parts will have to be replaced. I bought the coil spring replacement kit, paid around $ Can. Delivered to Montreal Canada $ 220.00. Put the springs in, they also tell you which wire to clip for the air suspension bell, and the car rides just great, yes a little rougher than air, but, no more problems. It still maintains the Crown ride, and no more problems. It is hard to justify such a large expense for air ride on a "96. Good luck.
