So I just picked up this '99 Town Car, and decided to look into the sagging rear end.
The car had an "Air Suspension" indicator illuminated on the dash, and I was hearing no indications of activity from the air compressor. I discovered that the 30A fuse for the air suspension was blown, and upon replacement, immediately blew again.
It was time to dig in. You'll need a 7/16 deep socket, a ratchet, and a few extensions.
The compressor is located between the air filter box and the driver's fender. Removing the top of the box was simple, just a hose clamp and a couple connectors to remove. I don't have a photo of this..
The lower part is held in place with three bolts which in my case were quite rusty. The best approach proved to be jacking up the front of the car enough to create clearance to get at the bolts from the bottom, which were in pretty good shape.
Once the bolts are removed, the small electrical box on the right needs to be released from the metal bracket. just a couple clips, and it lifts off.
