Air Suspension Ride Height Sensor

[Joe]

Could someone take or point me to a picture of a working Ride Height Sensor. Also, can I assume that the sensor should show signs of being moveable by hand?

I'm finally getting around to troubleshooting my Service Air Suspension Code and suspect the ride height sensor. Not quite ready to give up on the air bags and in fact the one's in my truck seems perfect. Compressor also seems to be functional (at least to the rear hose hook up). My ride height also seems fine with no signs of deflation at all. The only noticeable issue is the ride height system will just continuously blink when pressed with no compressor run. Figure its either electrical or the sensors themselves. It does appear that the previous owner sprayed an underbody protector all over the sensors so I'm thinking they are frozen solid.

Thanks

Yes, the sensor will move up and down freely without any resistance when taking the clip off holding it to the upper control arm. It moves up and down as the rear axle articulates. If you unbolt the bracket connected to the control arm, you can check for yourself. Just take care not to bent the bracket too much when taking it off - there are 2 bolts which need to be taken off. The sensor arm itself is out of plastic and a bit flexible. I believe you can also just pop off the rubber portion out of the pin, which holds the arm to the bracket. Can't quite remember, as I modified mine to work with my lift kit. Hope this helps.
