94 ride control
I've had my car since June. It has the ride control option, but I don't believe it is working. Turning the control **** from touring to sport to performance makes no difference that I can tell. No light stays on on the instrament panel, but the ride control light is the last to go out. Is this a common problem and if so where do I start for the "fix"?

Re: 94 ride control (94C4red)
do you have a helms manual? If not, get one. it will have a complete diagnostic procedure for the FX3...
you may want to get a helper to turn the ****, and see if the actuators are working... depending on miles, the shocks may have just worn out...

When you first turn the car on does the "service ride contol" like light up at all? If not then someone probably pulled the bulb. Replace it to ensure the system is functioning then check back with the "how to's" for reading the codes to find out what may be wrong with the system

Either somethings not working, or you're just not sensing the difference. BTW, it's difficult to detect differences at slow(er) speeds because the dampening adjusts as the speed increases. The rates at 20 mph are a lot closer than at 60. I used to have a graph that showed how the dampening rate changed with velocity (for the 3 settings), but can't seem to find it. If I do I'll post it.
