red terminal

You won't get electrocuted but I would suggest not to do this. This action causes a "fault" and disables the module that regulates the air suspension causing all air bags to deflate.

I posted this in another thread but figured I'd post here too, stop monkeying around with the air suspension and if you have the error on your dash GO TO A INDY, DEALER, OR FRIEND THAT HAS GT1 SOFTWARE and get your errors read. Then post what the error is on these forums and we can help you out.

If you replaced the module and had it coded correctly, then you can rule that out as faulty. Are your air struts original? If they are, there is a good chance they are leaking and ready for Arnott replacement. As well, if they are leaking and you have been driving with that for a while, you have most likely burned out the compressor seals and that will still throw an error even after the struts are replaced (ask me how I know), luckily there is a rebuild kit available that members have used that is proven to work.

My Fronts are already Arnott Struts. The Front Driver side strut is currently leaking air from just 1 year of use. The thing is, My air compressor does not kick in anymore like it used to for 5-10 seconds every morning. I want to test the air compressor to see if its the problem, or if i need a new relay. Any idea which relay it is on the right side cargo area ?

What rebuild kit are you talking about? Is there a kit to rebuild the compressor seals?
