Well changed the Air Suspension module that we got from Jamie today.The front end seemed to come down but the rear end is still high.
The car for some reason seems to steer better.The check air ride light when we started car it come on pushed reset and stayed out (For now).

Also the old Air Suspension module someone had it apart before and resealed it.

Ok. When the error comes up the system is off until the car is started again. All reset does is clear the message, but the system will not do anything no matter how long you drive the car.

As I think was mentioned, check the rear sensor and make sure its attached. The modules dont usually go bad, they are a solid state computer. You have a problem with:

relay
sensor
fuse
broken wire

Yesterday I replaced the Air Suspension module. Today the cars front end won't come up Setting on the ground almost.
The rear end is still up real high.
started the car and the front didn't come up. The car stayed up for 2 or 3 days till I changed the Air Suspension module.

This is my second @ssburn with bad air ride and I thank My last.

$375.00 seems pretty reasonable to get rid of that headache. Thats about as cheap as i can find for a conversion kit.
