Love them! Looked at many different setups before deciding on AFE. Great ride and now I'm looking for how they perform with new rubber and a square setup. BUT, I've run into a problem that I can't find an answer to:
I had the F45 suspension and when I replaced the shocks I added the Lingenfelter simulators to fool the computer. So far so good, then I removed the center console switch and tossed it out with the shocks. They are bye bye. I know that was really dumb! Now I screwed up the ESC control module and its throwing the warning "service active suspension". I examined the suspension damping engineering drawings and determined that I need to place a resistor shunt between pins 7 and 8 of the plug that goes to the computer. I've checked everywhere on this forum for some guidance and haven't found it yet, except to find someone with a Tech II tool who is willing to deactivate the RPO F45. Unfortunately I live in Maui and there are not a lot of sources. Does any one have the answer?
According to the drawings there are 4 resistors in the switch body. If I knew the ohm value between the two corresponding pins of the switch in any one of the switch positions I could make a shunt. Can someone out there who still has an F45 make a measurement for me and send it?
It would be sooooo much appreciated!

Seems the easiest thing to do would be to get a new plug.

Yep, that would be, but so far I have not ben able to find them.
If you or any reader of the forum know of anyone with a trashed vette that has the suspension switch, kindly let me know, OK?

Chris,
New housing without switch hole with replacement switch which is contained in a box which snaps in place with the **** removed did the trick, just like the simulators.
BTW: what does OTD mean?
