how to bypass air suspension compressor
My H2 has had a spring and strut conversion done. However the PO didn't do anything with the compressor in terms of bypassing it's operation. I would like to still like to have the option to fill tires etc. Everytime I start the car, I can hear the compressor run for awhile ( no warning lights tho...)

What If I just cap off the air outputs? I just don't want to do anything to trigger a dash light. I can do without the option of having air on demand. If I unplug the harness to the compressor will that give me a warning light?

heres a quote from another site.............................................. ....................Update time guys! Here's the deal.....
First, found out that one of my rear bags was about to fail (looked like it was sitting crooked under the truck), so I replaced them with coils.
Second, we left ALL of the electronics for the air ride suspension due to me wanting to still be able to use the rear cabin hook-up for tire inflation, etc.
Third, to avoid warning lights we unhooked nothing electrical. All my mechanic/buddy did was "dead head" the compressor.....in otherwords he cut the airline from the driver's side that was headed to the airbag and plugged it into the passenger's side compressor fitting.
Forth, the compressor (and all electronics therewith) are fooled into thinking the truck's rear ride height is always perfect. This also allows the rear cabin connection to still be used.
Fifth, only negative of this is that I loose the functionality of the rear "ride height" adjustment feature......very minor trade off (in my opinion) compared with the functionality of the coils vs. the bags.
Lastly, I have NO WARNING LIGHTS for the last 3 days and my compressor in the rear works perfectly and my coils are now bulletproof.
I highly recommend this to everyone. Let me know if any questions exist.
