How to fill the rear air bags and remove the compresser?

[Motorhead350]

I found the instructions for filling the bags. I just do not understand where to hook up the line. Do I pull it from the little box that says Marauder? Do I unscrew something and not pull it out?

Also I found the compresser, but how do I remove it? Found a few threads, but I need pictures or further details for removal because I am stupid.

Anything helps.

Thanks!

The little orange cap thats circled is the outlet to the bags. Push the line in and lift that cap to release. There are the 3 mounting bolts and a plug.
Heres more info then you will ever need to know about the air suspension.

There are 3 10mm nuts that secure the air compressor to the box it's in. Locate them under the fender and spray with WD-40 as they are surely corroded.

Remove the air filter housing / CAI.

Disconnect the electrical connector by depressing the tab and pulling the connector apart at the same time.

Disconnect the hose for the muffler.

Disconnect the air line by pushing in the retaining ring and pulling out the line at the same time.

Remove the 10mm nuts and remove the air ride compressor.

I'm pretty sure you need to follow up with Windex!

Now a word from

I am about 99% sure there is some difference between the 90-97 Town Car/Panther Air compressor and the 98 up due to different part #'s

And even worse, your problem is probably due to a blown Air spring, or the height sensor malfunctioning.

A proper diagnosis is in order
