    The manual may have the fuses listed, but may not.

    I don't know what else to tell you; maybe "fix" the fuses (check any under the hood too) and then "reboot" the car by disconnecting the battery for ten minutes or so.

    Some people don't recommend unhooking the battery since the computers will have to relearn your driving habits. Maybe some others will pop-in with suggestions.

    Usually we see failing compressor posts with older Town Cars and the frequently recommended fix is to swap out the bags for springs. But your situation is a bit different with the electrical gremlins.

    If you decide to unhook the battery, make sure you have any needed codes, like for the radio or keypad if you have one.

    This is difficult to follow, but if you are saying that the power door locks are inoperative, check fuses #29 20amp and #30 7.5amp in the fuse block at the left side of the dash.

    If you can hear the compressor running, then the system is trying to work which suggests that it has all of it's power inputs. How long does the compressor run? About three minutes and then it shuts off? If that is what it is doing each time you start the car but it isn't lifting the rear axle, suspect a leak or other system issue.

    I appreciate all help but I'm just not thinking a leak cause never an issue plus if its that whats the chances its so bad of leak it doesn't come up at all. I see other problems that have been fixed w really IDD things you wouldn't think would have anything to do w it..any way I can test to see if compressor is pushing out air to the line to rule out compressor?

    There is a rule. Test, don't guess. Even if this is related to the fuse(s) issue, by testing correctly you will go right at it. By just figuring and moving forward (based on an assumption or guess) you risk trapping yourself because there is always going to be a chance that you have figured incorrectly.
