1997 Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4 4WD w/ rear air bags, front air shocks (all new).
When I turn the pump switch on, it jacks up, shuts off a few seconds, then jacks some more, shuts off, and more and more. I have to cut it off as I know pump will burn out. And car is sitting WAY up high all the way around. It's not in 4WD. At first I thought maybe this is the height it rises to in 4WD (I don't use 4WD at all as last time many years ago it got stuck in 4WD) but I don't remember it going up this high, just a few inches. But even if that is what is happening it doesn't explain why it keeps cycling on trying to go even higher. I think all four are at the very top of their travel and pump still comes on. I shut switch off and all four stay pumped for weeks, so I guess no leak.
Something is fried. My mechanic's been at this for weeks with no solution.
Thanks guys! Hoping for a quick and easy DUH fix.
