Ford effed up in order to capitalize on parts money... on right fenderwell, you will see a black plastic shield, remove it. under the shield, next to the firewall there is 2 connectors. the 8-pin connector is the one in question. there is a fat gray wire which is burnt. cut and reconnect the wire w/ buss butt connectors as needed....
this takes care of the air ride (but you are not finished yet....
next, remove the long black plastic shield on firewall directly behind engine. locate the BROWN relay. on the relay, locate the pink w/ blue striped wire. at about 3-4 inches away from relay, cut the wire...yes, cut it!!! on the end of same wire connected to the relay, attach a blue connector. to continue, purchase a new relay equivalent to the brown one.
the tan/yellow wire on the brown relay is spliced to the #1 pin of new relay. the pk/blue wire on the brown relay is spliced to the #3 pin of new relay. pin #2 and pin #5 are grounded to chassis...
this will be about an hour if inexperienced w/ cars...

What would make a popping sound when you hit the brakes hard?
It's probably a loose suspension or brake component and the axle assembly is shifting slightly when you hit the brakes. I'd have to hear it to be sure.
What if your 95 Lincoln Continental rear lights don't come on when front lights are on the come on only when you step on the brakes?
It would either be a bad wire in the circuit from the brake light switch on the brake pedal to the bulbs, OR the bulbs have 2 filaments in them and the one that comes on when you apply the brakes are worn out, OR someone put the wrong bulbs in(single filament). I would change the 2 bulbs first.

I think the check suspension plug is under the hood on the pass. side and you would need a OBD1 scanner to check it. It's usually gray in color and says air suspension on it.
