The Rear Of My Car Does Not Rise When I Start It.

I don't hear the suspension pumps come on when I start the car now. The rear of the car is almost sitting on the tires. What do I look for?

Check the button on the side wall of the trunk to see if it was turned off somehow. If it is on try turning it off then back on with the car on. If you have had a air leak for a while the compressor motor could be burned out. I had a 1990 Lincoln that leaked and had to replace it. Here is a web site you can use to help troubleshoot hope everything turns out well!
