Thanks Gardham67...
BTW what or who is the "breakers"?
You mentioned I may be able to get one from them.....
Most of my friends have Pickup trucks or low rider cars. I told them they have no idea what they are missing....LOL

Thanks again

I called the dealer to inquire about the part.
I asked where was it, so they faxed me the part specs.
They also told me that it has to be coded.
So does this mean that I cannot buy a used one ?
I may as well let the dealer put it in and weep over the cost....LOL

You can buy a used one but the dealer has to code it for your specific vehicle when they install it. Depending on the cost you might just have them supply and install the module.

Good luck! :thumbup:

After taking the Subwoofer out and then the tail light assembly, inotice corrosion all over the connections.
Cleaned them off and the tail light/ brake light issue is over.....
I just cannot find the air suspension module to see if there is corrosion there....
Gardham67 can u give me a little more detail of what u see in the diagram.
All i see is the big black think in the middle
An air canister on each side and one connector...

The breakers would be a junk yard to you i think (basicly where they scrap/break cars)

This is a good read, you might be interested in it. Unfortunately, it doesn't point out the exact location:

okay here is the latest.....
I took out the subs, light assembly...
Clean the corrosion...
Had to make a run and after about 10 miles the auto suspension started working again....
Could it have been the bad connection fromthe light bulb holder causing the problem?

I also noticed that...
When I was getting the light/tail messege, the flat tire monitor was lit also.
The front brakes were going into anti lock mode really easily too. One front tire would skip when I barely pressed on the peddle for a strong stop.

Now that I fixed the tail light assembly, the tire monitor light went off, the suspension issue went away and the front brakes stop skipping as if they were in anti lock mode....STRANGE...
Thanks for all the input everyone !!!
