May I suggest that you take a look around this useful site:
http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/ ?
I had loads of problems trying to get the suspension fixed on a '98 Explorer
I had before my current 2000 North Face. I spent loads of cash at my Ford
dealers but they never fixed it. I even swapped most of the system with
parts from another Explorer that had a fully working levelling system but to
no avail. I still have all the gubbins somewhere, including a pair of rear
shocks and the compressor.
Unfortunately the general feeling in the UK is that Ford dealers simply
don't have a clue about Explorers...
Anyway, if you happen to be anywhere near West Yorkshire you are welcome to
try swapping some of the bits I've got to try to get yours working. Does the
orange 'suspension off' warning light come on after about 20 - 30 minutes
constant driving?
