Q: What steps should be taken before servicing the air suspension compressor on Ford Crown Victoria?
A: The service and repair of the air suspension compressor must begin with turning off electrical power to the air suspension system to stop unexpected air spring inflation or deflation that would shift the vehicle while you work. The first step involves turning off the air suspension switch and removing both the pushpin-mounting engine air cleaner and air compressor drier cover through pushpin extraction. Proceed to extract the snorkel after removing its pushpin. Disconnection of the air compressor begins with compressing and removing the locking ring followed by extracting the air line then disconnecting the electrical harness. First raise the vehicle then install support before removing the nuts and gently lower it to access the air compressor. The installation of air lines into the compressor drier requires at least 3 mm (1/8 inch) of visible white air line extended beyond the fitting. The process terminates with steps that are opposite to the removal actions.
Q: How to service and repair the air suspension compressor on Ford Expedition?
A: The air suspension compressor servicing requires complete air pressure removal from the suspension system for safety reasons to avoid severe injury. Start the procedure by first taking off the inner fender edge cover before detaching the air line from the compressor drier through lock ring compression and line extraction. Remove first the electrical connector then the air compressor air intake hose from its fittings. The assembly of air compressor with its bracket can be extracted after removing three bolts with torque of 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) to be reapplied during reinstallation. Check that the white part of the air line enters completely into the fittings as a step in performing correct installation. Ensure the bracket has no trapped objects beneath or on it and perform a test for air compressor contact with other components that could generate vibrations and check its smooth movement in rubber isolators. The bracket should not show deformed shape because this would force the three rubber isolators to load improperly. The installation ends when you carry out an inverse process of the removal sequence.
