I've replaced Autoride with Bilsteins front(adjustable)and rear(also Moog springs in rear and a front level spacer.It rides great again even with 270/60/20 Nitto All Terrains
The rear plugs for sesnsors only have 2 wires so that was straightforward to cut and fit bypass modules but front plugs have 3 wires and I'm a bit hesitant to cut anything before I get a bit of advice
Vehicle is 2008 Yukon Denali XL
Any help much appreciated

Sorry boss been away for a few days haha. As far as the new models for resistor bypass on the front shocks it should be only two wires. Here's a video that shows how to do it. Use heat shrink instead of tape though and I would prefer a crimp on splice joint instead of wire twisted together. Only unknown is what resistor you need to remove the compressor. I would remove the fuse in the under hood box to start.

Definitely 3 wires!

From the video and compared to your picture I would suggest the yellow and green wire. Not sure what the third wire does unless its a trace wire. I would test the resistor by placing a soldered wire into the female plug ends testing each of the two wire circuit combinations until it clears. Then use a quick splice connector on the wire side for long term install like th pics below. It wont hurt the computer because its a resistor and doesn't input any power. Definitely different for those euro models. How about a few pics of the whole truck?

I was wondering if it was the sensor and not the shock tower plug, that might explain the three wires?

My mistake it's shock tower plug....3 wires and only 2 on bypass modules?
What goes where?

So the 3 wire plug was for the ride height sensor and you found the 2 wire plug for the shock? If so then connect the 3 wire back to ride height sensor and I saw you have already fixed them so they don't move. Connect the resistor to each of the 2 wire shock plug.
