I plan on installing a Monroe 90009 rear shock conversion to my '98 ETC. Obviously I will add resistors to the solenoid plugs to "trick" the computer.

My question is regarding the pump itself. Is it okay to remove it, or do i need to keep it installed and connected to keep codes from popping up?

Thanks in advance.

 

I believe if you remove it you will get a message about speed limited to 90mph and other things. If you just leave it in and cut the air lines you'll be fine. I actually did a small write up on how I fixed my air ride. The struts for the rear were easy to do on my Seville only problem was my compressor was shot so I made it a so I manually inflate the suspension. Its been good since then. I sold my Seville to a friend of mine and he says its been good since no codes. The compressor airlines are bypassed but is still plugged into the computer system to keep codes from showing up.

 

Awesome. That's what I was after. Thanks.

 

I saw your post and I was wondering if you might have some information for me. My air ride suspension in the rear seems as if it keeps running all the time. I was curious if I could temporarily shut it off somehow so that it doesnt burn out the compressor. I'd like to shut it down by a fuse possibly..Until I can replace the shock or find the air leak, the temerature in New England is -1 degree. To cold to atempt this right now. Thanks in advance.

 

There should be a fuse on the trunk fuse panel marked "ELC." I believe this is the one you need to pull.

 

The struts for the back were simple to do on my ride and the only issues was my air compressor was taken so i personally increased the revocation. Its been excellent since then.
