Firm ride blinks

[nick2003]

hey guys, I had the struts and shocks replaced on my 93sc with the factory
str/shcks, :confused: up until the replacement the ARC was working fine. Nowwhen I switch on the button to firm I hear 2-3 triggered sounds and the light comes on then goes off and then comes on and off every 5 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions?

When you turn the key on can you hear any relays clicking in the back of the car?
did you check out the site that SC4life posted.
It is very informative.....

I can hear the relays click 2-3 times when I activate the firm position , originally it only clicked once and the indicator light would stay on . I checked all the acutators and they all seem to be connected properly.
When u step on the brake hard the firm light still comes on as it should, i guess on monday I ll get the arc codes checked.

If the relays click 3 times it means the problem is in the front right sensor.
2 times is the right rear. If you remove the problem sensor and turn the ignition on it should make a sound like a servo.....if it doesnt make any sound check the plug to the harness for a poor connection. Be careful when you re- install it... dont force the unit back on the shock. there is a small blade that must be aligned with the sensor. How many times does the light blink?

I just removed the right rear sensor and saw that the spring was a bit rusty,I replaced that sensor with a spare one I had and now all is back to normal. Thanks alot ..
