Hi All:
I am dismantling a 1989 Crown and learning a lot about these cars as I go!
When I started,I noticed a hydraulic pump in the right hand guard, and noticed that the various hoses seem to go to the suspension units. So, I thought... Hydraulic suspension. Fair enough.
Upon further dismantling, I found an air compressor, mounted under the battery cradle. What the??
Then I find a relay marked "Lift relay" and find it is connected to the compressor. Bridging the relay terminals starts the compressor.
Now I am thinking the air system is for the suspension, so what is the hydraulic gubbins for? Brakes?
