The compressor RELAY is probably fried.
There's a couple of good tech articles on Lincoln air suspension at

You don't say if the compressor runs or not. If it does, suspect a leak or a bad vent valve in the compressor. If it doesn't run at all (and the comp is known to run)the main suspect is the compressor relay. There are a lot of other causes, look at the tech articles. It's a very simple system once you understand it.
Take the vehicle to a Lincoln dealer. They have a system analyzer that will determine the fault.

I buy all my Lincoln air suspension parts and get the best free technical advice from Bagmaster--send an email to snipped-for-privacy@bagmasterair.com His name is Keith. I own three Lincolns with air suspension. The standard answer at Lincoln dealers is $2,300 per side to fix anything related to air suspension.
