1997 Lincoln Town Car 97 Rear Air Suspension Works Wants Starts Inflates Another

my 97 Town Car rear air suspension works when it wants some starts up it inflates another starts up it don't when it does work everything's fine and levels out just right but more than often when it starts the airbag light flashes and the air suspension light comes on you can hear air compressor kick on and then it stops leaving the rear end low to the ground is it possible short somewhere in the system or something is going bad
