Ok. The air suspension went out. I don't here the compressor turning on and the light stays flashing. Of course this happens after I make it my dd and start taking apart the d1 for repairs before my daughter starts driving it.now I'm in a hurry to get it fixed.fixed I'll
I'm going to convert it over to coils. Will d2 springs work? I know d1 springs will work.. I also need the spring plates as well.
thanks

Ok. I was able to come up with a set of factory d1 springs. They will have to do until I can afford to redo the entire air suspension.
The question I have is about the front coils. They are different heights. If I recall correctly the taller of the two that has more coils goes on the drivers side.
Does that seem correct or do I have it backwards?
Thanks

OK. I went by memory. I pulled the 30Amp (green) fuse and the relay (yellow that) was next to it. I didn't notice anything with the fuse pulled but I believe it is for the Air compressor. When I disconnected the the relay the suspension warning lights went off as did the hight indicator lights.
It seems to have worked. If it is wrong then someone chime in.

Thanks
Rico

Do you need any air suspension parts or sticking with conversion? I ask only cause i have almost all replacement parts minus bags.... and mine works as easy as poopin outdoors naked, so no need for the equipment. Lemme know

We've replaced it all with coils... then replaced rear colis with stock airbags, added a cheap compressor and a few valves. It's been good for the last 10 years or so.
