C5 Shock Absorber Code C1717
After running on-board diagnostics, I was left with the C1717 RF Shock Solenoid (open circuit), for the Real Time Damping System.
Question: I this a part that can be replaced/repaired, a loose or frayed wire, or is a new shock required.
Thanks

I would start by checking the connections and look inside the connectors for bent,loose or corroded terminals

I would assume that car must be jacked to access the connection?

After i sold my 85, I got rid of all my Jacks, and stands,
so it might be a while. Any driving issues with this?
