what really makes the road sensing struts fail? my act like there is no dampning at all.i see aftermarket non adj out there,but what really failed?is there a way to fool them into a std shock,thanks,mike

What really failed? Thats the question. Was it the position sensor, the wiring, the module or the strut itself.
Using the stored trouble code and a diagnostic flow chart will lead you to the root of the failure.

Some systems can be "fooled" to turn the light off. It usually requires wiring in a relay to the suspention control module.
