My MGM had the rear air suspension swapped for coil springs before I bought it.
So, up until now, I tolerated the result of a lazy man's job on it - the Check Air Suspension *ding!* light on the dash.
NEVERMOAR! Time to get it sorted out. I got under the car and in the trunk - there are no air lines, so at least a part of the system has been deleted up to the compressor, which I believe is under the hood. The compressor switch in the trunk is OFF. Other than that, it's all unclear to me.
The way I see it the control function for the air spring expects an "OK" signal from a sender at the compressor / pressure switch / air valve (?) and gets none; hence the *DING!* on my dash.
Other than getting someone with a diagnostic tool for the Panthers and disabling this pesky light, the usual walkaround is — at least in GM vehicles — to fool it with a resistor bridging the end of the line that sends the air spring fault signal and kill the fault indication. I'd only need to know how to do this on a Panther.
Ideas, gentlemen?
