Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 1999 Lincoln Continental is
currently not rising in the back
there is some motor noise in the
beginning but it turns off probably
within 10 seconds of it or me
pressing the button the reset
button in the trunk I've noticed on
my digital dash says no ride
control selected ,the serpentine
belt came off and I Road to my
destination on the battery which
ended up dying I got to jump with
battery cables to restart the car.
Since I change the water pump
out and put the serpentine belt
back on the rear air suspension

trunk. How do I reset the system

If you have the car manual, read the instructions to select the ride control. If you keep having the same problem, then check for air leaks in the lines and the bags. I don't think this has anything do to with the serpentine belt, the dead battery, the water pump, etc, etc.

Recommend checking the interface where the hose goes into the drier of the air suspension pump. I have accidentally pulled on the air suspension hose when working on the alternator or changing the serpentine belt and backed out the hose from the exit hole of the drier. Very easy to reinsert. Suggest using RTV to seal it but be careful not to clog line.
