heard it could be switched out to figure out a prob but cant locate em'... any help?
 
Behind the driver's front wheel well you'll find the ABS relay.
And you have the Air Ride Relay in front of the passenger side front wheel well.
It's the same part.

If you're air ride isn't functioning at all, if the "CHECK AIR RIDE" warning comes on right away, swap the relays. If that solves the problem, you've found the problem... then order another one so that the ABS functions again.

Sometimes the compressor AND relay fail though.
 
so i have to take the drivers side inner fender lining out to get to it? my pass. lining is already out so that could make it easier.

and yea, the air ride messege comes on right away.. as i noted before 1 day the rear just dropped. thanks for the help....i'll take all i can get.
 
if anyone has pics of the relay locations that would be great... its like 15 degrees out here and dont feel like exploring..



i' havn't slept for about 20 hours so all help will be nice..... i'll get a few zzz's in a minute and hopefully have enough energy to wake up and get it done by the end of the day.
 
we just did this last week on my friends car

you can get at the one one the drivers side by taking the removable panel from under the bumper cover, which is easier than pullin the tire and or the splash sheild.

its right by the abs pump... you cant miss it, but ya gonna hafta go look.

be forewarned that on my friends car the relay didnt fix it....it was the air ride computer in the end...
 
i know you having issues finding/completing your used conversion kit.
but the fact remains the same
you should EITHER fix the air ride or ditch it...

(azzhole crap deleted) lolz
 
i hear ya.....i wanted to keep the rear air for load issues.... but 1 day it decided to just drop and not pump up. i got a ton of f'n issues right now.....
 
i know man, i really wuddnt tryin to be an azz but i think i did it anyway.

dont let me discourage you.

swap the relay and report back
 
it is SUPER easy to get to. Take the drivers side marker lamp out and it is directly in view. real easy to take out. The kid helped guide me though it about a month ago when i was working on the very. btw I still need an abs realy if someone wants to hook me up lol.
 
Brand new p/n is f3lz-2c013-b plenty available but the $$ is 155.11 retail 116.33 for most, 90.74 for LVC and 83.76 for LVC GOLD.

Thank you for this!
I saved a whole lot of time and pain today by reaching in through the headlight hole and swapping the relay from the ABS to the air compressor side.
Took me about an hour from start to finish.
No taking off the wheels is awesome :)
