I had a friend replace the air suspension compressor pump with a used one that I bought on ebay. The air compressor pump is located under the windshied washer fluid container. You have to take a cover plate off to get to it or even see it. We discovered that the top of the air suspension compressor pump, where the air hose goes into it, screws off with a crescent wrench. So we just left the hose attached to the top of the pump and replaced the body of the the pump. I have no idea how you would just replace the hose.
The Mark 8 does not have a check-valve in the air suspension system. Each air spring has a solenoid valve, which controls fill and vent of the spring. There is a fifth in the suspension compressor itself, which controls venting the system. I discovered that the seat for vent valve was corroded in my compressor, which would then leak when the system was trying to fill. This resulted in the compressor running, but the car lowering. I was able to clean the seat up for a temporary repair, but ultimately replaced the compressor.
you can turn the switch off (located on the right side of the trunk) or you can replace the air springs with regular spring. there is a special suspension kit
If check engine light is on, have a parts store read the code. It will tell you there is a random misfire and usually what cylinder is misfiring. Replace the coil pack for that cylinder and all will be well.
They can get noisy and leak oil. You want to replace a noisy ac compressor before it fills the system with metal trash.

You should typically pay between $400 and $600 to replace the compressor on a 2003 Lincoln Navigator. Where the repairs are completed and the type of compressor play a large part in the actual cost.
GENUINE PARTS MFG: RELAY, F3LZ-2C013-B. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD REPLACE THE REAR AIR SUSPENSION WITH SPRINGS? NO MORE RELAYS, SWITCHES, AIR COMPRESSOR OR AIR LINES TO WORRY ABOUT. THANKS! J.T.

i need to replace my flasher relay on my 03 Lincoln navigator but I'm having trouble locating it.
locate compressor on left inner fender under air filter box which will need to be removed unplug wire at compressor there are three nuts holding the compressor in. You get at them from under the car. lift out old compressor.
there are several causes to the air pump. the first and most obvious is the air pump (compressor) itself. if you do not hear the compressor pumping air or if you do not feel the slight vibration of the compressor when you put your car into drive, then it's probably the compressor that has gone bad. if the compressor is coming on and you do not hear any air leaking, then your problem could be the height adjuster, located on the suspension bags themselves. Bronconvict: another possibility includes the compressor relay switch. This switch controlls the power to the air bag suspension compressor. This switch is known for burning out when the suspension compressor is working too hard. This can also be caused by a bad/corroded GEM module (due to notorious winshield leak). i had to replace "height sensor" on driver side . part was $200.
Not sure if you are asking what a suspension is or what kind of suspension the Navigator has... I believe that most Lincoln Navigators have what is called an Air Ride Suspension... There is an air compressor in the engine compartment that pumps up air shocks in the front and air bags in the rear of the Navigator. What this is doing is basically auto leveling the vehicle. I guess the best way to describe this is that if you go pick up an overly obese person and they get in your Navigator, the Navigator will compensate for your passengers weight and add more air to the shocks/bags on their side to keep the vehicle from sitting lop sided... When your passenger would get out, then air would be released from the shock/bag on their side to level the vehicle back out. Good answer describing the air suspension that is on these vehicles. I happen to have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and through a long process I learned a lot about these suspension systems. With anything air you have leaks. Well one of my airbags started leaking. Easy fix right.... just replace the air bag. YEAH RIGHT!!! Not only did my air bag give out, this caused my compressor to run constantly. So there's another component in this air system that I had to replace. To make a long story short I ended up with a quote nearing $1500 for all parts from the dealer. NO WAY was I paying that much, so I started searching for more options and that's when I found Strutmasters. They are a company that made a passive non air system with coil springs to replace the air. The salesmen I dealt with took the time to explain my problem to me and helped me make a great discussion. I am now a happy Navigator owner instead of a worried one :)
there is a switch in the back cargo area usually the right (driver) side remove the plastic panel and you will see a trigger switch with on and off positions which controls the air suspension If you have a problem with it you might need to replace the compressor there is a really good company that sells Harley Davidson stuff (Arnott Corp - best agent there is Morris), but they also sell that compressor for the least expensive price around $170 through Amazon. com and it is an easy install.
If you have figured out where it is leaking from then here is a link to check out. I haven't used these people yet, but I am planning on it if I need to replace the air shocks in the front...
