Indicates a major leak in the left front strut.

Best way to check is to let in air up after you statrt the car, then open the door with car running and go to the trunk and turn the air ride switch off. Drive it and see what side goes down. There is a real possibility that you need to replace your front air springs. I wouldn't wait to long either as you have a good chance of over working your compressor and could cause it to fail as well, go here for parts and more info.

I got a Mark VIII and the air bags stay up but there to high. Is there a way to reset them?
They don't seem to be bleeding off.

The check air ride light comes on push reset and it might not come on for 3 or 4 hours.
Someone said the car was raised without turning off air ride and it will need reset.

Yea that's what happens when it gets raised with the switch on. I just drove around a little when that happened to me and it reset.

Read this, something here may help you. http://www.americanairsuspension.com...ft-on-high.htm

Also you'll get more responses if you make your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's unrelated one.

No problems just seemed like you were trying to start up some dirt. Unlike some sites we don't just boot people off because they are from another site. We just like to keep life civil here and friendly. All the help you need is here if not you can find what you need on other boards. LOL has a very good tech section. I've develope a lot of great friend on LvC so this is where I whore my posts.

And Eddie is the best. All you need for your Air Ride issues can be found on his site.
