mine is a 98 and the switch is located under dash on passenger side on the side kick plate.
under the air filter box
No it should not. They have a ride height switch, which cycles the compressor. You probably have an air leak in the system.
Air ride compressor, air suspension compressor, and air pump are the names used for the same device. They are used to pump up the air suspension.
usually under dash left front side
A person can reset the air ride suspension on a Cadillac Deville by disconnecting the compressor wiring harness from the compressor itself. This is accomplished by putting the vehicle on ramps.
I need help with 1998 Lincoln mk8 air ride compressor not kick in?
the compressor is on the left side of the engine compartment (drivers side) front under air filter box
Either your Air Ride switch is turned off or you have a bad compressor. My compressor died on me because of a bad selanoid... have a mechanic look into it. be warned, it can get expensive.
The compressor is located behind the passenger side of the front bumper. Remove the front passenger tire (remember to turn off your compressor using the switch located behind the little door on the left inside of your trunk), remove the plastic 'cowling' from the under side of the fender. This will give you access to the pump without too much difficulty. == ==
I assume that the switch also turns off the air compressor for the suspension. The effects will not be very clear for the first 5-10min. of driving, but eventually the ride will become more and bumpier because the compressor is not re-pressurizing the system. The suspension will be bottomed out constantly, because there is no air holding the truck up, and the truck will look like a low rider. That's what happened when our 2004's air compressor failed. I could be wrong if it does not turn off the compressor, but if it does, this is what will happen.
The compressor is located under the washer fluid reservoir. To access compress remove two screws located on inner fender then disconnect the fluid line and electrical connection. Afterwards there is a little plastic panel underneath that you should remove. Then after disconnecting the electrical connection and air line from compressor, there are three nuts that need to be removed from underneath the car. Remember to turn off the air ride switch in the trunk and support your vehicle with jack stands or similar.
Bad solenoid, leaking bags
