i have the same problem with my 95 mustang gt convertable.

i dont drive it that much (only 65,000 miles) but i am afraid what the dealership will charge for this.

that'll proally run $70 to scan it and than ask for an estimate to repair it...

(Atleast that's what we charge for a scanner hook-up to see what's going on)

now, what air bags is it talking about? the inside ones or the suspension thing?

You probably have an air suspension problem. Go to "search" on this site and search for "air suspension".

You will be able to find dozens of other Lincoln owners who have had to deal with air suspension problems in one way or another.

You will also be able to read up on what these same dozens of Lincoln owners did to fix their air ride problem, the available options, lots of owner repair advise and "testimonial" type recommendations, etc.

As for me, my tools have been stolen, I have no place to work on my car and
even though I would prefer to try to fix the air ride with replacement parts, I
am probably going to go with the coil conversion because I can do it cheaper, faster and can maybe borrow my cousin's husband's tools long enough to fix my Mark VII in the street.

his air bag light is flashing not "check air suspension".
the same thign happened in my moms old crown vic.. they said it was just a relay, and it would keep the air bag from deploying in a wreck.

Count the flashes in the air bag light. It should give you a 2 digit code,
and you can look up the code for the problem.

On each start the light will flash a code, two times, then stay on.

I had a 95 Windstar that did that. Sold it before I could ever try and
fix it.

ok, so after the light started flashing about a month ago, i took out the fuse.... i recently replaced the fuse and bada bing! it doesnt flash anymore. so maybe you guys should do this if you have the same problem. thanks alot for everyones help!
