I have not driven my truck in a long time and I am getting it back up to fully functioning. The light stays on all the time the switch is turned on. I have check the fluid level and the M/C for problems. Brakes work fine. Is it a gournded light sending wire or what? Thanks

This is just somethings I have herd. Get the truck on a safe place on the road and slam the pedal down a few tiimes and see if it reset's.

The connector on the proportioning valve take it off and clean it real good.

I have had to bleed the brakes to get it to reset, the spool valve (or whatever they use) is not centered, so bleed the rears first, until the light goes out. If it says on, bleed the fronts. This should take care of the issue.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
