Your rear shocks are dead even valving inside that regulates shock pressure not working because front system is not hooked up. Your best bet is to get autoride system to work since shocks are on there.

The links they are sending won't fix anything

You can do it but the valving of the shocks is totally dead. It's a 10 minute fix Splice in connectors and autoride works and light is off and set to go.

I would make sure autoride works. Better handling and load control and no more light on dash.

Norcal, is this the spot on the front shocks where ur saying the system would plug in to the stock shocks so that it works right?

Front is different fitting. Open hood you will see harness laying there above shocks

popo this is the front connector for the autoride. The module attached to it is the Arnott bypass resistor which I removed and replaced with 3.9 ohm 25 watt wirewound resistors soldered into the wires. The Arnotts kept failing. The connectors should have attached to the tops of your stock shocks. They're probably tied away somewhere now.

That sucks. Arnott sells replacement compressors with lifetime warranty. As far as the resistors, yes I got them off EBay. I'm glad I fixed my autoride. I can ride lowered and when I hook up my trailer it adds air and doesn't bottom out, still rides great.
