usually when u turn on the vehicle it automatically gets adjusted to a certain height,the problem is that it won‘t get adjusted at all so I‘m driving my truck like very low and that makes it look like a low-rider car.(when my suv is off for more than 40 min it goes down,when turned back on,it goes up) problem is,it won‘t at all! help.anybody know what it might be?or why?
You may be able to sweat the joint and touch up the solder. If not, you'll have to pull it apart, sand it, re-flux it, and re solder it. Don't use any of the pipe patches/glues/caulk. They're just kicking the problem down the road, and the plumber will be annoyed that you made more work for him(annoyed charge you more).
2003 Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Problems
If it was leaking down after 40 minutes before it stopped working altogether, you have a major air leak in the suspension system. This leak casued a greater than normal load on the suspension compressor, and it has probably failed. You should take it in for a diagnosis, but the compressor is the likely cause.
If you bring it to the dealer, they will run it through the computer, and it will tell you that your air suspension compressor has died. Then they will charge you about $1000 to replace it. Your best bet is to bring it to a mechanic and tell them that the compressor died, and have them replace it. Just make sure that you can trust this mechanic. This is a common problem with Lincolns. They use an air suspension system that doesn't rely on the standard coil-over springs. This can give the car or SUV a plush or firm ride when desired. Lincoln has actually done away with this system now due to costly repairs. However, your back should not be leaking that much air that early if it is a 2003. Have you been in any rear-end accidents? When the bags leak that often, it strains the compressor greatly. This causes the comp. to eventually die. If you are looking to trade the Navigator in soon, I suggest just replacing the compressor (very easy, 2 hrs) and not looking into the rear bags. But if you are keeping it, most mechanics can also do the air suspension fixes. I hope this hasn't been too confusing for you. I know it can be very stressful. I just had the same problem with my 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII. I spent one month driving my car one inch off the ground back and forth between dealers trying to get my problem fixed. It bottomed out on every hole. That was a nightmare. Good choice in the Navigator, by the way. The 2003 were very nice. I like the 2007 design too, however. Well, good luck with the Lincoln.
