I have a 94 lincoln towncar and the air suspension is not turning on and i am dragging over the smallest bumps. I have checked the fuse on the main fuses but it is fine. ANY ideas?

It could be a myriad of things wrong with the RAS. My guess is that you have an Air Spring with a leak or the Compressor has failed. If either are original to the car, it's almost a certainty. There could be a leak in the Air Line. A Solenoid could have failed. A burned Fuse or Control Module failure. The Ride Height Sensor could be faulty. If you aren't inclined to decipher the problem, converting to Variable Rate Coil Springs can be done in 60 minutes in your driveway. And the best part - you won't notice a change in ride quality.
Warning: You will ruin the Shock Absorbers in less than 100 miles if you continue to drive it around with a failed RAS.
