Same old story as everyone else, I removed the Autoride system on my truck when it failed and bought the cheap Monroe kit off Amazon to swap shocks. (Monroe 90012 Electronic to Passive Suspension Conversion Kit) After installing all the crappy resistors it worked fine for 3 weeks then the light started coming on. So I had to find a way to remove that and found this fix after pulling my hair out.

Located at the passenger rear cargo compartment on my '01 Tahoe, behind the paneling I found my Body Control Module. I pulled the bottom to plugs out of the BCM and removed the wires as shown, and spliced them together. THAT'S IT!! Now I don't know if this will work on your truck, that's up to you to find out.

Best of luck!! Hope I saved you guys some trouble!!

I didn't remove my resistors and it worked? How did you jump the wires? I removed the wires from the connectors and used blue quick splice connectors then cut of the prongs at the end. Worked first try for me? Took longer to remove the panels!!

I jumped the wires still connected to the harness and also tried jumping them with out being connected to the harness. I have two resistors on the rear shocks to make it clear.

Each wire needs to be removed from the harness plugs, see the video below on how to do it;


Once they are removed, you can plug the harness back into the BCM and jump the wires together. Before you do any of this though, make sure you disconnect your battery. The system needs to be off so it can clear any codes etc.

you shouldn't need to disconnect all of them just the main negative connection to the truck-
