QUESTION: Can the “Air Suspension” dash light be disabled? I’m considering rear coil springs…
BACKGROUND: My car only has 27,xxx miles. After buying it last year and daily driving for about six months, I decided to go with an Eaton swap. Now it’s a garage queen that maybe sees 100 to 200 miles per month. About two months back, the “Air Suspension” light came on during a weekend drive, but didn’t return on next startup. Then, a month later, the speedo stopped working and the steering got really tight. The 114 fuse was blown (thanks MM.net), which I replaced, then it blew again. I turned off the RAS and the fuse stayed intact. So I’m assuming the compressor assembly needs to be replaced, and since the bags look to be original, I would probably go ahead and replace those as well. The Suncore kit costs ~$300. The rear coil spring kits are <$100 and you don’t have to worry about future RAS issues. Also, I don’t drive the car much and rarely have passengers or anything in the trunk. My biggest concern with the coil spring setup is the dash light.
I’ve scoured the site, but haven’t found anyone that has swapped to coil springs and addressed the dash light issue. There was a post on CVN that mentioned cutting a wire to the control module in the dash, but that’s obviously less than desirable.
Any thoughts?
