Thanks so much for this incredibly easy fix for the annoying suspension service light.. Worked on my 2001 GMC Yukon SLT.. Also gave me a chance to see how much corrosion formed on the battery terminal already.. what the heck..
I just bought a burb 2500 with this exact issue as a previous owner removed the auto ride and honestly since I don’t tow I probably won’t make it factory again but you never know. Thank you.
Wow! I just got my shocks replaced on yesterday. I have a Yukon 2001 XL. Same color as yours. The service control light came on today. I will definitely have someone to check this out for me. Thank you
Thanks. I'm a hobby mechanic. Do the air shocks come off easy and take regular shocks easily? All simple parts swapping? I'm thinking of buying a 2005 Yukon with that light on. Seller says it rides fine. I'm not picky about ride, but I want it more safe. I'm not a fan of air ride suspensions.
I'd be damned... Thanks bro. I've been riding with this light on for two years+. Took it to Chevelot dealer they quoted about 2500.00 for everything and everything was already working...gtfoh... 🙏🙏
hey man video was very helpful i watched a video where the guy added resistors to the white and blue wires in the rear that go to the compressor to trick the system but removing the fuse was much easier so thanks for that. i watched all of your videos bc i have a 2002 yukon denali xl and i just threw the 5100's on it. I have one question for you.., what size tires are you running ??? they look like a perfect fit not to crazy but still beefed up. i am in the process of getting tires and i was going to do 285/75/17 but i t looks like your tires may be slightly larger then that but i cant tell for sure let me know whenever you have a sec. good stuff bro.
What's up man, thank you for all the great feed back, much appreciated. You're going to have fun with that truck, yes that is the size I'm running 285/75/16 . You got a bigger rim and itll look way better than mine , and the rim has a natural offset by an inch
@@altonbrown2955 thanks man I also have an 02 xl and just got 6 inch lift and couldn't figure out how to fix that. I also wanted to know size of tires you had on it looks really good
Thanks for the video! that pop up was driving me crazy lol. Can i ask where did you get that Grill from? Did you just paint it black? I'm trying to do a chrome delete on my Yukon.
Thanks for the info bro, I have the same fuse box on my Hummer H2, did the steps you did but light kept coming on here n there..you know what could be the next step or put it back again and wait longer with negative off??
No problem man, you know what, there is a relay on the wire harness next to the fuse panel that goes to the pump, maybe repeat the steps with that in play and see if that does the trick, because i took my relay off before hand and took the pump completely out of the truck, before discovering this method. I know you can cut a wire thats in the back next to the rear hvac system, but i never been big about cutting out or through just disconnecting
Thanks a million man, it worked! Now does anybody know how to disable the automatic door locks on a 2005 without completely eliminating the electric lock function?
Hello, yeah mine went bad, shocks air bags blew out and was rough ride for a while and I switched to heavy duty bilstiens and the big tires and it's been smooth and good for long drives and bumpy roads
I ordered off amazon with specifications for the vehicle, which happen to align with any gmt800 generation truck chassis, they share exact chassis pieces
They ride GREAT, it makes a smooth ride , I just took a road trip and it's a big different from stock shocks. I didn't have to change out my brake lines which wouldn't be a bad idea for me to do, just installed the shocks and disconnected the air ride tech.

Man I feel you, I had a yukon before this one that had major problems underlining its performance I couldn't figure out til it broke and I stripped it, cant tell you how pissed I was. Did thay tell you why the light is one or code is popping up? As far as the brake lights, it will be the abs sensor cables on all the calibers , those things can rust or get rubbed and the protective coat will fall off. That's a good start as far as checking the grounds too , dont let them tell you it's the mechanism under the hood, if it's not leaking it ain't it.
If it is the fuel tank sensor , have you done a cleaner? I use this item called marvels mystery oil in a red bottle in both gas and crankcase to keep gunk buildup down but try that before pulling down the tank, you got it man, dont cut your floor lol and if so too check out your fuel filter too
@@giraffewithtattoos2770 lol only way to get them cheap is to go to a junk yard and pull em and that bastard probably watched this video to get his shocks working lmao
Hi, I wasnt aiming for being cheap or lazy, sorry for that impression. What I was doing was clearing a message that pops up after converting to heavy duty "conventional shocks" on Airride suspension trucks.
Damn, It's been a while since something super easy actually worked out as such for me. Had a 8mm in the door panel. All of 60 seconds Thanks !!
I pulled the fuse before seeing this and was super disappointed. Thank you for the tip on disconnecting the battery. No more light!
No problem 👍

Worked perfectly in 2002 suburban LT 1500. Thanks for the short to the point video.
Thanks for the directions. Worked on my 2001 Tahoe. No more annoying light in the message center.
You're welcome 👍🏾

Tried this today and it worked! Thanks for the simple and straightforward video.
Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm on my 2002 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT! Thank you!
You're welcome!

Thanks ! Good stuff. 2000 GMC Yukon XL it worked.
Great info, getting rid of the air ride suspension on mine.
I have 2005 Yukon XL Denali 6.0 just like yours. Thanks for the tip. Nice video, I subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello I have escalade 2009. Is it same for escalade as well. M having service suspension message. My ride doesn't go above 85 mph.
My husband did it today and it worked! 🙂
Oh wow I was gonna go back to stock Thanks a lot.
Can i use the front shocks for a regular tahoe to replace the air ride shocks ?
Taking out the fuse mess with anything else?
I'd be damned... Thanks bro. I've been riding with this light on for two years+. Took it to Chevelot dealer they quoted about 2500.00 for everything and everything was already working...gtfoh... 🙏🙏
Youre welco.e man glad to have helped out! save money on that big ass bill
Hey man, I have a question for u!! I have a denali 2002 with that air ride system but I don't know what shocks to get!! In case u can help me
Hello, i got bilsteins shocks , they work great, and they are not over complicated i got mine off Amazon
How is doing this any different than using bypass modules in all 4 wheels? Does this affect the Stabilitrak or all wheel drive system?
Hey bro when you put the new Bilsteins did you also change the coils as well? Tnx
Hello, no i didn't , i should have but the ride was smooth with the shocks so i let it be
What type of suspension did you end up going with after the change
hey man video was very helpful i watched a video where the guy added resistors to the white and blue wires in the rear that go to the compressor to trick the system but removing the fuse was much easier so thanks for that. i watched all of your videos bc i have a 2002 yukon denali xl and i just threw the 5100's on it.

are bilstein 5100 better then stock air suspension thx
Yes , in my opinion, the ride got much more comfortable less bumpy and rough
Great vid will it work on a 2007 Avalanche ?
It should
Worked for me thanks great tip!😄
Glad it helped! 👍🏾
Man you're a genius!!! I did it and the message is gone thanks sooooo much 👍
You're welcome!
My man! Thanks! Was bout to order those bypass mods!
Glad I could help
Thanks for the video! that pop up was driving me crazy lol. Can i ask where did you get that Grill from? Did you just paint it black? I'm trying to do a chrome delete on my Yukon.
No problem! Yess I sprayed it myself with truck liner spray for a rugged look. It's the original grille too
Thanks for the info bro, I have the same fuse box on my Hummer H2, did the steps you did but light kept coming on here n there..you know what could be the next step or put it back again and wait longer with negative off??

I know you can cut a wire thats in the back next to the rear hvac system, but i never been big about cutting out or through just disconnecting
Hope this helps man, but yeah disconnect both terminals try it again with that extra step, let me know what happens
@@altonbrown2955 oh both terminals!! Then the harness! Sounds good man. Thanks again, I appreciate it
Will this work on a 2007 escalade ????
Good question, yes it should check the fuse panel for a rtd fuse and give this a shot
Just tried this method on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe and it freakin worked! Thanks Alton!
You're welcome!
Wow thanks man! Worked like a charm.. Nice tires on that gmc! What size?
Thanks man, glad to help! Word I have 285/70/R16 tires
Hey how about the speed limiter is there a fuse for that?
Hello, noo it's all programmed into the control module , got to take it to a shop to unleash the rest of the trucks potential
Thanks a million man, it worked! Now does anybody know how to disable the automatic door locks on a 2005 without completely eliminating the electric lock function?
If I'm remember correctly I think it is the fuse in the dash that's call unlocked jumper, it's the bigger relay
Tried this on my 02 escalade. It just didn't work. Any idea why?
Hi, did you convert the truck conventional shocks?
Same here, DID NOT WORK, do you need to unpulg the Air Pump ?
Does the air ride go bad or something? Got an 05 Denali with the message but it rides smoother than my 02 suburban with the bilstein shocks.
Hello, yeah mine went bad, shocks air bags blew out and was rough ride for a while and I switched to heavy duty bilstiens and the big tires and it's been smooth and good for long drives and bumpy roads
Also the air pump itself went bad and the regulator didnt work effectively anymore
I'm not even converting to normal shocks, and this trick worked...Thanks!
It also deactivates your front shocks. Did you change those out at well? Did you just order for a vehicle without the ride control
I change the shocks all around, just had a bad angle when I made the video to capture them, yes it deactivates all the shocks
I ordered off amazon with specifications for the vehicle, which happen to align with any gmt800 generation truck chassis, they share exact chassis pieces
Wait so pulling this fuse deactivates the shocks all around?
Thanks bro helped me
All good, glad to be of help man
Thanks !
No problem!
Worked great brother. Do you have Venmo?
Not yet lol no worries do this free i like to help out
How are the 5100 shock ride on your I am planning on upgrading mines
And did you had to replace the bake lines brother
They ride GREAT, it makes a smooth ride , I just took a road trip and it's a big different from stock shocks. I didn't have to change out my brake lines which wouldn't be a bad idea for me to do, just installed the shocks and disconnected the air ride tech.
Thank you holy shit man
All good man 👍🏾👍🏾

Will it pop up if the fuze popped?
Not if you unplugged the battery, you should be good.
Fuck Yea🤙
I want my air ride fixed and do you think I can find anybody who isn't so cheap and lazy to actually fix something? NOPE!
If you can't already do it, try a damn mechanic you cheap and lazy bastard
Good luck finding those air shocks at a reasonable price, also. When my shocks go out, Ill be using this method to clear it off my trucks computer too
