    I know where the bank is located. It's under the drivers feet. Nice hard to reach place.

    One of the EOA is an oddball and different part number. If that one is your susp dump you may have to replace it, as it will not swap. Purple air line should be the one.

    Why in the world did they decide to use electric over air solenoids to control the dump valve? What purpose does it serve? Is there a condition that tells the computer to dump the bags? I sure like my air operated dump switch in my old junk

    Warning on/off indicators. Electric switches are monitored by CECU. Some of them are starting to have redundant safety functions.

    I get the old tride and true, cuz it works.

    For every fully pneumatic switched device, you need a air switch and wiring for an indicator light...........????

    Same problem here, computer was not updated but it dumps the airbags seemingly randomly. Pull the control air line out of the leveling valve and it stops dumping the bags but Id like to fix it so my dump switch works properly again.

    Stupid stuff failing. If it was mine I would seriously consider bypassing it. This can be dangerous if it decides to dump at the wrong time.
