    97 LSC Mark Viii Air ride won’t pump rear

    That schematic is handy to have. Here's an explanation of it in English showing how to inflate them manually. Once you inflate them to proper height, turn the switch off in the trunk to see if the airsprings leak. Air Ride hard fault troubleshooting and forcing system to inflate

    Bags won't go back up

    Maybe check the wires from the sensor to the module?

    Convert Gen 1 rear windshield to Gen 2

    Sorry, I read that backwards. You'll need to use the antenna module from a 97 to use the antenna in the glass. I didn't know you had that many Mark VIII's now. Are you going to bring one to Carlisle this year?

    Convert Gen 1 rear windshield to Gen 2

    The 96 glass doesn't have an antenna in it, as the 96 used a mast antenna. The defrost should plug in no problem.

    1995 Lighting and air suspension lines

    I had trouble with my multifunction switch, no brake or turn lights. I was out of town with no tools, I disconnected the battery and sprayed some silicone spray down into the flasher switch and then cycled the switch a bunch of times. I reconnected the battery and the lights worked again.

    98 LSC Misfire After New Plugs and Wires .... SOS

    If the substrate in the catalytic converter is broken and rattling, it can sometimes rattle around then plug up the cat. I'd disconnect the exhaust from it and shine a flashlight in the cat to see if it is plugged. If it is, you can break up the remaining chunks and remove them, so they don't...

    Check Air Suspension Diagnostic Help please

    You have a 96, so you have another spare relay to try, the secondary air injection pump uses one of those relay's too. I'd hate to see you buy one if that's not the problem.

    Check Air Suspension Diagnostic Help please

    My green 94 had intermittent compressor problems like that too. I replaced the compressor relay and it seems to be ok now, I need to drive it more to be sure. I had a spare, but you can use the one from the ABS pump in the driver's side fender to test it out.

    Suspension - what do you think I should do?

    My opinion: 1, rear airsprings only (solenoids rarely go bad).
