air ride convertion ???

[fastford]

I just converted my Mark VIII to a non-air ride car. I don't understand what wire to cut to turn off the air ride message in the car. can someone post a picture or tell me where I need to look to find the wire ??

Don't cut in case you change later. Just leave the airride switch off in the trunk. When you start the car just hit reset twice or ignore it.

I never plan on changing it back. I will sell the car before I do that. I don't want to have to hit the reset time everytime I get in the car.

You can kill power to the unit by cutting pins 1 and 21 on the black connector. You might be able to pull the fuse, but I think you'll still get the "Air Ride Off" message until you snip 1 and 21.

Info on how to acces the connectors is here:

Unplugging both connectors is probably the easiest thing to do.
