I would like to express my gratitude & appreciation for your video. I saved about $700 fixing my wife's truck which is huge as for we have a baby on the way. Thank you!!! 🙏🏼
Pro Tip: Doors MUST be closed for compressor to activate. Installed my new compressor per the above, thought the unit was still shop. Then closed the door and BAM! Compressor started right up. Lol. Thanks for the Great video
Here in alberta Canada, my compressor went on my 2012, I watched this video. 35 mins to repair and it works great. Thanks for the video and the tool list. However my oem compressor was $700 CAD 😢. Great instructions.
Thank you for this video; especially informing what tools were needed. The process was pretty quick. For those going through this, order the Doorman PN# 949-202. I read a lot of positive things about the Arnott brand PN# P-2937 so I purchased it first but it requires some modifications. I didn't want to do that so returned it for the Doorman which plugged right in. Test drove it and it works great.....well, so far. Thank you again, greatly appreciated!
Thank you for posting this picaso! I would have been screwed without it. The only problem is I ordered it at autozone, got it and it was the wrong compressor. I mean looked the same but didn't have hose hookup. Where did you guys order yours? Please let me know, Thank-you!
I would say compressor. On my previous navigator i removed the air system andcreplaced with struts and coils. Not too difficult of a job. I would've done the same if compressor wasn't under warranty
Nice video, thanks. I was sure my wife’s ‘13 Navigator L would need the compressor. Same color as your vehicle by the way. Worked fine for years and the rear end dropped down after work one day for her. I tested all of the related under hood fuses and swapped in a few spare relays in position 10, no change. Then I jumpered pins 3 and 5 in the relay socket and the rear end lifted up quickly and seems to hold. You can’t leave the jumper in there or the compressor keeps running. I put the relay back in but I know it’s not really fixed. From experience, any thoughts what it might be? I doubt that the left and right ride height sensors both failed from that morning she went to work with everything working fine to when she came home and the rear end dropped.
Thanks for making the video , I do have a question for you , I just replaced both front air suspension plus a new compressor the other day , everything good but the next day my navigator it’s sitting higher on my driver side and lower on passenger side , same for the rear end , ….,I was wondering if you would know what it is , I was thinking to replace both front air ride suspension leveling ( sensors ) thanks for any suggestions.
drive the car a little then park differently than you normally do. ex back in driveway if you normally head in forward. this will take away the ground being unlevel. next measure the distance between top of wheel and well on all tires so you know the difference. disconnect your sensors and see if the spin freely or are frozen. chances are if one is bad it could make the others compensate to keep level. if they move freely they are probably ok. let us know how things go
Love help like this . I tore this truck apart looking for the 4 wire Connector relay . Do you know where it is located exactly? Mine is a 2012 navigator. My 1st time ever touching an air ride suspension.
there is a 4 wire connection shown at 2:52 mins into the video. The "relay switch" I believe is located in the fuse box on the drivers side under the hood. I think it is the square relay #10.
I am pretty sure all the relays in the fuse box are the same kind and you could probably switch one out of another slot to test if yours is good/no good
There wasn't any noticeable pressure in the lines when I removed, but my compressor wasn't working. Not sure if you had a working compressor how much pressure is in lines.
@@Kevtheguitarguy thanks, I’m sure mine is not working either but do you know if there is a way to release the pressure safely. I’ve looked online but can’t find anything on that
Need help! Have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator replaced the air compressor and there’s no power I checked everything fuses relays All of it runs fine! It just won’t turn on but the old one does! Any tips?
I did that and got another new one this is my third one now and the same thing happened im confused doesn’t want to kick on with any new ones but the old one
Make sure new one doesn't have any shipping plugs or caps that prevent it from completing a circuit. After that use a volt meter to make sure power is getting to plugs on compressor. The only other thing could be that the new ones aren't calling for power where the old one could have a leak and constantly call for power
Check the wires (the plug) to check for voltage . If no voltage it means it is likely not calling for power. One thing could be making sure air suspension system is switched to on. The other are the sensors by the back wheels that when they get low the sensors allow voltage to run.
The 06 has the pump under the water tank. You typically have to remove the battery and battery tray and then unbolt the tank and move it backwards to where the battery normally mounts. Then you'll get access to the compressor.
The compressor started getting louder and louder. Instead of being something you could only hear if you listened for it, it was very apparent when it would kick on.
The rear end won't pump up on my navigator. The driver side hight sensor is sticking and grabbing but the pump is loud and rattling, would you say the hight sincer is keeping it from going up or the compressor is bad. Update.... problem fixed.. description in comments
Sounds like you might have multiple issues. I'll start by saying i am not a mechanic. If compressor is loud it is probably on it's death bed. If you have other problems such as sensors and possibly rear air bags you may want to look into a conversion kit to struts. I have done one before on navigator and it's not too difficult
I've got a 2004, so not exactly the same, but if one of my front ride height sensors popped loose it caused both rear bags to deflate. I'd spray some lube on the sensors and move them through their full range of motion and see if they loosen up.
A loud and rattling pump might just be worn out isolation mounts. The pump could be fine, but it vibrates so its has rubber mounts. When these mounts get stiff or fail it can cause the pump to sound noisy.
@@dentedfanatic23dentedfanat78 I'm about ready to swap mine over to coil springs. Any time the temperatures get around freezing both my front bags slowly deflate. All new everything, except the upper shock mount, and it still leaks. It's a pain in the rear.
Would have been nice if you actually had shown the replacement. You kept skipping along the process thus I was not able to follow. So this video will receive a thumbs down.
Keep in mind , I am not a mechanic. I did this job by myself without any help of where to begin. By showing others what I took off , where they were located and what tools were needed were helpful to others. I am sorry if you think that I receive any money from the added time it takes me to record while I'm doing repairs, then downloading clips to my computer, then editing and uploading to TH-cam in the attempt to be helpful to others. But as far as the replacement.. play video backwards there's no difference of what goes where when you put things back together

That’s for the vid. Just did mine today. The white hose didn’t want to come out though. I had to cut mine. Seems to be working great. Thanks again.

@@joshuafisher1895 thanks for adding the part numbers I get that question sometimes
Thanks for the video appreciate you detailing the parts that I will need that meant a lot great honest video I like it
Appreciate the feedback
Thanks bro 2nd time I'm doing mine but it was a good refresher course
I originally started doing the videos so if I ever had to do something a 2nd time I'd have something to give me a refresher... glad it helped
Thanks for showing the video, it really helped me change out my compressor.
Thank you as i gotta do mine today
Thank you for posting this picaso! I would have been screwed without it. The only problem is I ordered it at autozone, got it and it was the wrong compressor. I mean looked the same but didn't have hose hookup. Where did you guys order yours? Please let me know, Thank-you!
It was through autozone
I just bought a 2012 navigator. Would you say it's more common for the compressor to go out or the shocks? Thanks for the video!
I would say compressor. On my previous navigator i removed the air system andcreplaced with struts and coils. Not too difficult of a job. I would've done the same if compressor wasn't under warranty

What is the ride height measurements from center of the hub cap up to bottom of the fender?
This might sound like a stupid question but will I mess up my vehicle if I keep driving it if I’m having issues with the air suspension.?
I would be more concerned with the safety factor. It changes how the vehicle sits which will impact how it turns, stops , handles bumps
Cheaper is not always better!!!!!!!
Did the air bags start to fill up instantly when you turned the suspension on after?
Pretty much but doors have to be closed

@@Kevtheguitarguy i will let you on that but thanks for the info
I'm not getting any power to the compressor or levers in the back.. All fuses look good. Any tips?
Electrical issues are a pain. You have to start at compressor and follow wires back until you have power
Thank you!

If your car is riding low then the air is already out.
Thank you sir
You're very welcome
Need help! Have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator replaced the air compressor and there’s no power I checked everything fuses relays All of it runs fine! It just won’t turn on but the old one does! Any tips?
If old one runs put it back in and return new one, it's likely new one is junk

Advanced auto parts wow nice. How much was the compressor with lifetime warranty. Thanks
I think I originally paid $275 it's gone up since then
Wish I saw this sooner Just traded one in.
Is the compressor location the same for all year navigators ? I have a 06 ?
I don't know for every year but i had a 2001 and it was similar but i think i had to also take out battery
The 06 has the pump under the water tank. You typically have to remove the battery and battery tray and then unbolt the tank and move it backwards to where the battery normally mounts. Then you'll get access to the compressor.
What brand compressor did you use?
autozone was where i purchased it from. I don't recall the brand but I believe it was the only one they carried, came with a lifetime guarantee
Hola amigo tengo una LINCOLN que estan bien vaja de atras y le puse amortiguador nuevo y nada que sera
Compressadora de aigre
How did you know it was compressor?
The compressor started getting louder and louder. Instead of being something you could only hear if you listened for it, it was very apparent when it would kick on.
@@Kevtheguitarguy i just removed mines and it still blows air.
@@Kevtheguitarguy im going to replace it regardless
@@Kevtheguitarguy i replaced compressor still not going up 🤣
@@rickyhernandez1030 does the compressor turn on?
can you tell me the compressor part number. When I got ot find one it gives me 4 different models compressors but mine is like yours
Sorry, took a quick look for paperwork but couldn't find it
