I had the same problem after rebuilding my front end on my 2007 XL Denali a few years ago. Took some electrical contact cleaner to those connectors and it solved my problem.

Great. And THOSE connectors were?
The ones on top of the shocks that you made sure were reseated. I’m saying go one step further and clean them with contact cleaner.
I see. Well, out of desperation, I even just replaced the new ones that came witht he new struts with the OEM ones from the old struts. Cleaned them with MAF cleaner and greased with DE grease. Tomorrow will show.
And the trophy goes to......
Drumbeat!!!!!!!
Geotrash!
After I replaced - and cleaned and lubricated - the mentioned connectors on the struts rods, with the ones, taken from the OE struts - after 2 days of commute, message is gone.
I'd say, it is safe to say - all good.

Great result! There is more than 1 style of electrical connector for the top of those struts, depending on the year of truck. Using the OE connectors seems to have solved your problem.
So glad to hear it worked for you! I only know because I beat my head against the wall with mine for a couple of weeks until I did the same thing and voila!

Reviving old thread again...I just replaced the compressor in my 2007 Yukon (Z55) and it aired up fine by itself, and then more when I attached my trailer, then as I was loading stuff on my trailer (with the truck off) I heard a loud POP? I am wondering if It blew a shock bladder? It seems to be leaking at the drivers side shock. Has anyone experienced this? If I need to drive I guess I will take out the fuse so I do not burn out the compressor.
