Hello everybody, thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have a 2000 5.4L Exp and I'm having some issues with my air suspension. Recently, I noticed that the compressor was running every 2-3 minutes whenever I was parked. There is still a good connection from the compressor to the dryer (i.e. there is no air that can be felt escaping). I have not been able to find a leak in the air springs or issues with the hoses and the vehicle does not sag if I don't drive it for over a day. My idea is that the height ride sensor may be on the fritz, but I am not entirely sure. Any ideas?

Edit: I forgot to mention something that may be important. Whenever the compressor runs after driving it some, there is no difference in height in the rear, it's in the front. I have noticed that it will run for 25-30 seconds and then the front, passenger side will go up in one jerk. The vehicle can idle for about 10 minutes and it will do that every time. I have looked in that area and the only thing I have noticed was a broken sway bar link that I need to fix. Is there anywhere specific I need to look at?

It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the situation. It has to be leaking somewhere. You just can't find it....

I didn't want to be the guy to say this....but no else has replied to you all dad, so... Convert it to springs and shocks....you will never have an air suspension problem again. :D
