I appologize if this has been covered, I haven't seen it yet, been looking though!

My 94 on the way to work decided to be a high rider. I don't know where the switch is that tells it to go high or low, but it must have got disconnected. The top edge of the hubcap can be seen exposed now. It wasn't like that when I left the house. But as I was driving it kept getting harder and harder in the back, bouncing over even the cracks in the road where it is buckled up a little bit.

For the ride home I will need to pull the fuse to keep it from trying to crank it up more, which is it?

And where do I find the level switch to control the ride height to see if the arm popped off?

Thanks!
Tom

The fuse is under the hood on the right side of the car.

The switch / sensor combo is under the car above and in front of the differential.

Thanks for the help guys!

Do they commonly get knocked off or adjustment get screwed up?

Does it run with the car off? Like, am I going to go out after work have 2 blown shocks?

Thanks!

Mine has been trouble free for over 160,000 miles - only one set of bad shocks replaced so far knock on wood (no real wood in my fleetwood tho' :annoyed: )

The system will run on a time delay (don't know how long) to adjust for items being put in / removed from trunk, etc. It has like a farting sound.

So it won't keep running and running all day if the link is broken?

It's not SUPPOSED to!

You will get a constipated system that keeps pumping itself too high if the exhaust solenoid shoots craps, thus not allowing the "air escaping" sound before the system resets and pumps itself back to the set level. AFAIK, it's not separately serviceable, and unless you can rip it open for repair, then it's to the junkyard for a whole replacement compressor assy from Whatever the Hollander book says will work.

Keep your old one to swap over whatever things are different between the two.
