Lincoln air shocks are affected by cold?

I have an ’87 Lincoln with air suspension. When the temperature drops to around freezing, the front end drops all the way down, whether I am driving the car or it is parked. This happened late last spring, then was fine all summer. Now that it is cold again, its happening again. I have the automatic levelling turned off right now [switch in the trunk], but if it turn it back on, the strange behavior returns.

How could temperature affect the automatic leveling? Is it the computer or perhaps the level sensors? How can I test this or what should I replace? The front air shocks were replaced at the end of last cold season to no avail.

This is a weird one ;-)
