Likely your system has a leak and the compressor can't keep up with the volume of the leak. <><><> Agree. The air bags in the suspension of ours had developed small holes, and the compressor could not keep up. Get that fixed before the compressor burns out.
usually under dash left front side
Sounds like you might be running into the same problem I had with my 93 town car suspension. You might want to save some time and money and do what I did...check out the air suspension conversion kits at Strutmasters.com Those guys really helped me out. http://www.strutmasters.com/lincoln-town-car-suspension-s/37.htm Justin
The compressor is located in a compartment in the left front wheel hub. To access it you have to remove the air cleaner and the washer fluid reservior.
