How to Service and Repair the Ride Height Sensor for the Air Suspension System on Mercury Marauder?

Service and repair of the air suspension height sensor requires that the electrical power source must be disconnected by turning the air suspension switch to OFF located in the LH rear quarter trim panel. The suspension height sensor service and repair requires turning off air suspension power to stop accidental air spring pressure changes from shifting the vehicle during maintenance processes. After securely supporting the vehicle, proceed with elevation. First disconnect the electrical connector which attaches to the air suspension height sensor before unfastening the connecting link from its location. First disconnect the bolts holding the height sensor in place before removing the sensor unit from the vehicle. The installation process requires performing the steps in reverse order to what was used for removal.

How should you service the ride height sensor to ensure safety and proper installation on Mercury Mountaineer?

Services on the ride height sensor must start with disabling air suspension electrical power through the rear jack storage area switch to avoid uncontrolled air spring inflation or deflation that might result in vehicle shift while working. First lift the vehicle after support then remove the spare tire from the vehicle. You must perform two steps for replacement. Begin with height sensor electrical connector disconnect then proceed to separate the push-in fasteners which connect harness to frame and apron. Push out both upper and lower spring clips until the sensor becomes free from ball studs. Reinstallation of the new sensor involves performing the opposite steps of removal.

Mercury Ride Height Sensor is applied to maintain the vehicle at level as this offers protection to the undercarriage components and enhances handling. Mercury was born in 1938 and the name was borrowed after a fast Roman deity. Mercury has been able to balance comfort and affordability over the decades, providing midsize drivers with plush cabins and agile steering. There were curvy silhouettes demonstrated on showrooms, heavier sound deadening, and suspensions that were adjusted to provide a softer ride without being sloppy. Cougar, Grand Marquis, and subsequent SUVs demonstrated that Mercury could combine silent interiors with kicks. Mercury had a reputation for value that just would not dissipate even after production ceased in 2011. Customers heard less noise on the road, more legroom, and dashboards that were arranged in such a way that anyone could get to the controls in a flash. Such a combination of silent power and reasonable prices had created a fan base before the crossover mania hit. The Ride Height Sensor is positioned beside the suspension and it measures the chassis-ground distance continuously. The information goes to the control unit at a fast speed hence shocks are adjusted before a subsequent pothole hits the ground. Since the Ride Height Sensor is responsive to additional cargo, the body will remain level and the cornering is predictable. When sag occurs on one side, the Ride Height Sensor emits orders that reestablish clearance and prevent tire rub. The Ride Height Sensor also gives drivers confidence since it reduces misalignment of the headlights which can blind oncoming traffic.
