This 98 expedition only has 92,000 miles. A month or so ago, I found the rear end sitting down on the axle. I started it up and suspension pump came on and leveled the vehicle. Drove it for a while and came home and parked in garage. I jacked it up to look at the condition of the air bags and they looked good. This vehicle has always been parked in the garage and we don't have a lot of freezing weather, so salt is not used on the roads.
Any way, a week went by and the suspension never went down. Took it out shopping and heard the pump come on a few times. Shopped for about an hour and came out to find suspension all the way down. I suspect something gone wrong in the control system. Have researched it a lot on line and found that the leveling sensors hardly ever go out on this model. I found mentions of compressor relay failures, but the pump always comes on, so I kind of doubt that.
I spent 35 years in the auto sales and service business, and know that most vehicles fail in the same ways. Hopefully someone reading this can give me an idea on what to look for. I have the shop manuals, but they require a star tester to pull codes out of the module.
I will probably end up replacing the air bags with standard springs, but want to do that as a last resort.
