Autoride bypass

[Rocket Man]

hey Red Rocket we have almost the same set-up, my rear Beltech lowering kit came with replacement rods for the sensors, I just haven't installed my compressor pump to my Autoride to confirm its operation. So the front height sensors are hooked up/untouched?

Correct.

SO, I NEED HELPS!! Just installed lowering kit on a 2011 escalade with autoride. CUstomer supplied resistors to install. Finished install, and started truck up. Smoked all 4 resistors. LIke melted the heat shrink off of them and started smoking. Found out they were only a 10W 3.9 ohm resistor. Removed those and installed 25w 3.9ohm resistors. Just finished that and started it up. took longer this time but it smoked them as well! ANy help? Why would it smoke them? PLease!!!

I think the MRC shocks in an Escalade need a higher wattage than 25W. They put a higher current to those shocks than the normal autoride ones. Try 50W resistors...

Interesting, because the Cadillac, GMC and Chevy appear to use the same shocks year for year. On a different note, GM appears to no longer offer the OE shocks with the autoride as they have been removed from several websites.

Yes, but when Cadillac started using the MRC shocks, these are apparently different power wise. I know a lot of the "conversion" kits you see say they only work with the Autoride shocks, but not the MRC (Magnetic) shocks.

Looking for help with my 07 ltz avalanche. I did away the factory shocks and bought new struts, coils, and shocks and installed a 5" lift. Then put the resistors I bought from an eBay seller on. But still get the the service suspension message. I removed the air compressor as it was shot and unplugged the ride height sensors. Still get the the service suspension message. Where do I go from her?

Inside the engine compartment is a fuse box. It has a fuse for autoride,it is a square fuse number 20 i believe. take it out and leave it blank forever or return if you or someone else wants to have the same suspension that came from factory. No more dash message if you do this.

I have the 25 watt resistors on the fronts along with Bilstein shocks (works good no Service messagage). Does the 25 watt resistors work for the rears too (NBS Autoride)?

That's the fuel pump fuse...

I was wrong about fuse 20. I was in a hurry when I was writing. Look on the fuse box cover diagram and look for autoride some where.

I don't see anything labeled autoride or rtd. I read something about putting resistors on the height controller plug also?
