Pull battery leads and pull rtd fuse sit for few then you can hook it back and light should be off.

I just got word. Air stuff is not deleted. Nitros are in the front. Air stuff is in the rear. Its an 02 if that makes a difference.

Why did he change the front shocks?? Just curious because if you were going to keep rear autoride I'd keep oem fronts on. Many times due to pulling front shocks Rear system will not work correctly. Also now that you pull rtd fuse the air system won't work rught but light will turn off. I'd put oem frint shocks back in and be done with it.

Have they done a lot of these trucks? They should have put resistors in to bypass front kit and will keep rear working and will keep light off

How many of these trucks has the shop done? Did they tell you about lights before lowering it? Sorry just upsets me because I hear this a lot then the shops call me asking how to fix it.... I don't understand why shops take on jobs when they don't know what they are doing...

Sorry had to vent but yes what they did will disable the entire system. It's a fault now so u less they put oem shocks backnin or cut wire harness and put in resistor light will stay on and back won't work......or you can remove air rear set up but use belltech sp shocks not any of the nitros. They are not as good at all and I don't touch em.

Idk how many they have done. I have no problem with the learning curve. No need to be upset about it. They do lots of work for me to all my vehicles. They never leave me hang if there is an issue. Just need to make it rightm

On autoride suv back in 99 when I did my first 00 I did free install and learned all I could. Just like in any new trucks or suvs or cars I do o don't charge on first install because if something goes wrong don't want customer to be like wtf man.

But anyways back to your truck.

You can do either of these
1. Have them put front oem shocks back in
2. In rear take out stock shocks and replace with belltech sp and pull rtd fuse
3. Splice in resistors on front so system still thinks oem shocks are back in.

Looks like there were supposed to be shorter "level ride control rods" that did not come with the kit...
