Cutting the wires to and from the air suspension switch and removing it sounds like an easy fix. Unfortunately, a quick examination of the electrical diagram for the air suspension system of the 1998 Lincoln Town Car shows that the switch merely opens that particular circuit, so turning the switch off does precisely the same thing as removing the switch from the circuit.

As I stated in a previous comment, the technical specialist at Federal Mogul assured be that while the Moog CC865 coils they manufacture will very adequately replace the air springs of the Lincoln Town Cars from 1989 onward, they have found NO WAY to turn off the air suspension warning message on newer models beginning with 1998 because those models use the multiplex communication network to communicate with the instrument panel. (According to the electrical diagram, that panel communicates various important data, such as vehicle speed, driver's door ajar status, passenger's door ajar status, and odometer.) The technical specialist told me that their company had contacted the car manufacturer with the request that they revert to the previous configuration, but no change was forthcoming.

The bottom line--conversion from air springs to coil springs will definitely work but, for models beginning with 1998 and newer, the warning message will remain on.
