bad suspension air bags or bad attitude?

Car Specs:

1994 Lincoln Continental Executive Series (sedan)
3.8 Liter engine

Purchased three years ago and have replaced one rear suspension bag and one front suspension bag.

Issue
--------------------------------------------------------------

Began a couple weeks ago that when the car sits for the day while I'm at work, or in the garage over night, it would be bit lower in the front with the rear higher than normal.

On Sept. 2, 2010, the front of the car was sitting on the two front tires and the instrument panel blinking and buzzing to check "Ride Control." The rear is high. It has not left that position. The compressor is working like crazy but not lifting the front end.

1. Checked compressor and hose attachments all appear to be okay. But I am not a mechanic so what seems normal to me, could be a crisis to a savvy eye.

2. Tried shutting off switch in trunk and turn off car for awhile and went back later. Again, compressor goes on and rear is still up in the air and front still sits on wheels and instrument panel still buzzing and blinking check "Ride Control."

3. Put my code reader on the hookup inside the engine area. It states that system is okay. As of Sunday (9-5-10) at 2 p.m. I have run three system checks and each come back reporting no issues. The check "ride control" on panel has not flashed or buzzed since 09-03-10.
