Default Suburban auto ride

I have a 2001 suburban that the auto ride suspension went out on a few years ago. I could not afford to replace the auto ride shocks so I installed "regular" shocks. The service auto ride light has been on ever since and I have finally had enough of it.

Is there a way to "fake" out the sensors that had attached to the auto ride shocks? Is it as simple as removing a fuse?

Welcome to the forum.

Did you disable the compressor? That could be what the computer is sensing.

Default bulbs?

if it's just a bulb can you get a wiring diagram and cut the wire?

No, I did not disconnect the compressor.....that could have been my problem when they went out!!! What is the best way to disconnect it? Would the computer still "look" for it.

SabrToothSqrl-

The light also serves for the low fuel and other warnings......I'm probably going to leave it in.

Might try pulling the fuse.

have you read this?:
Autoride Disconnect


out of curiousity - has anyone else out there done what Jacqson did several years back? just curious if anyone has had long-term success with his suggested fix.
