Navi no rise

So about a month ago i replaced the rear bags in my 1998 Lic. Navigator 4x2. Today the compressor did not come on at all. So i went to a junk yard got one. The back end still will not rise up. I hear the "click" noise in the back. The compressor runs, but no lift. Nor do i get a check susp light. I let the car run for 20min and nothing. Check the compressor it is pumping out air.

I cant lift it till friday to see if its a leak.

Also will driving it down screw it up?


Any ideas?

yeah, getting it to rise gets more difficult with age, as far as your vehicle, did you check to make sure your tubes are still connected to the bags ?

i wouldn't drive it with the back down. unless you're only going a very short distance. like madson said check the airlines by following them from the bags up to the front. and some soapy water if you don't see any disconnects.

I feel silly. The mechanic did not put a O ring on the dryer.

But i still have a problem.

Back end rises. (YAY) But after about 4 hours it drops. I have replaced the Compressor, Dryer, And Air springs. I checked lines for leaks. Did not see any bubbles?
