If the pump on a 1990 Lincoln Mark VII air suspension gets turned off is there anything else you need to do other than turn the pump back on to get the air bags to refill?

It depends on how the pump was turned off. Was it unplugged? Was the air ride switch turned off? If your air springs are working properly, then all you have to do is make sure the switch is on and the compressor is plugged in. Start the car, close the door, and wait for the system to inflate.

In a 1995 Ford Contour what speed or circumstance would it take to make the air bags deploy?

Air bags are designed to keep your head, neck, and chest from slamming into the dash, steering wheel or windshield in a front-end crash. They are not designed to inflate in rear-end or rollover crashes or in most side crashes, unless equipped with side airbags. Generally, air bags are designed to deploy in crashes that are equivalent to a vehicle crashing into a solid wall at 8-14 mph. Air bags most often deploy when a vehicle collides with another vehicle or with a solid object like a tree. Air bags inflate when a sensor detects a front-end crash. The sensor sends an electric signal to start a chemical reaction that inflates the air bag with harmless nitrogen gas. All this happens faster than the blink of an eye. Air bags have vents, so they deflate immediately after cushioning you. They cannot smother you and they don't restrict your movement. The "smoke" you may have seen in a vehicle after an air bag demonstration is the nontoxic starch or talc that is used to lubricate the air bag. All air bags are not the same. Air bags differ in design and performance. There are differences in the crash speeds that trigger air bag deployment, the speed and force of deployment, the size and shape of air bags, and the manner in which they unfold and inflate. That is why you should contact your vehicle manufacturer if you want specific information about the air bags in your particular car.

Why does the rear end go down on a 1997 Lincoln Town Car when the car is turned off?

It is probably because of the rear air suspension... Lincolns have an "air" suspension which helps to give it a plush riding feel. There are bags near the wheels of each rear tire that are filled with air upon vehicle start up (or very shortly thereafter). These bags are filled with air has the vehicle is on, inflating if there is a drop in pressure. When the vehicle turns off, these bags are deflated thus lowering the rear end of the car.
