Ok i have a 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII. Here are the problems i'm having could u guys please help me. I got on tccoa.com but there don't seem to be very many answers there for Mark VIII owners. My check air ride is coming on. i'm certain that it's the rear passenger side because whenever i go over a bump with that corner there is a loud thumping noise. How much will it cost to replace just that one piece? My RPM gauge is stuck at 3500 it sits there unless i go above it and then it works like normal but once it shifts below it sits at 3500 again instead of going all the way back down. and finally my reset button doesn't work. i don't know why i just bought the car less than a week ago. How hard would this b to fix?

The rear passenger side had no air-ride sensors. The thump in not related to air-ride. Odds are its a broken sway bar or rear shock mount - the rear shock absorbers are separate from the air-ride, unlike the integral fronts.
Tach - let someone else answer since I never had to fix it
Reset not working, could be the switch itself. Maybe something spilled on it. Its easy to remove that mini console. Just gently pry up on the front end, life up and forward - dont life the front too high or the indicator lights may get bent. From there remove two connectors and have fun! Might be able to take it apart and clean it.
