Does anyone know where the compressor relay is located in the car? The compressor runs when I connect power directly to it but doesn't ever get acuated automatically. The "Check Ride Control" message is on in the car. The 20 amp fuse under the hood is fine. Any ideas?

Thanks I found it and replaced it. The compressor is running again but I don't think that the output is strong enough. It runs for a while and is lifting the car but then the system stops and the ride control warning comes back on. Is there a rebuild kit or something to improve the performance of the compressor or should I just replace it?

There is no kit that I know off. Do a google for lincoln air ride and you will come up with several sites that sell compressors, new and rebuilt.
Good luck and let us know. :)
