Airlift performance install help - no power

[ohbuckeyes]

Well I bought an airlift performance digital setup, and started it installing it the other day.
Finally got around to finishing the bag/Strut part of the install, and I am having some issues now.

Issue I had right after install and on first start up-
Car wasn't starting when the fuse hopper was in the top blue fuse, but the air ride was kicking on.
I wanted to set my system up anyways, so I let it cycle through a little bit of the calibration, front was inflated to 90 or so I think.
Then I turned the car off (I regret that now)
We took out the 30 fuse from the power wire, and took out ignition fuse jumper and I started the car. Started just fine, I let it run a few minutes to make sure it was alright.
After that I tried a different ignition fuse jumper, nothing happened.

I tried to skip the ignition switch, nothing happened (just power and ground to the wiring no ignition)

I ended up giving up, but when removing it off the lift, I noticed the front bags were still nicely inflated. Rear bags were empty.


I don't know if shitting down the system mid calibration was where I went wrong, I tried to try a different relay, nothing.

I'm hoping someone may have insight as to what to do next or where to go.

I checked all my connections and fuses, all seemed good.

How I am stuck at the moment...

Lol I left it at the shop last night and let my buddy mess with it this morning, I guess he got it all working now from what he said. It was late and I'm sure we missed a simple step yesterday.

Glad you guys got it figured out.

We are still getting codes, I think the ignition switch wire is causing them lol

That is strange. I spent all of 5-10mins wiring the three wires. We soldered the small ignition wire to the larger gauge fuse wire, then used the supplied fuse jumper under the first small 15amp Blue fuse toward the front of the car. Ground with the ground on the strut tower. Then the power wire is fused to the biggest red power wire (from the battery I believe) to the fuse box.

Are you getting codes with the car, or does the Airlift controller display some error code??? It could have gotten caught somewhere and is grounding out or something.

It's all working great, cars running great, but I'm getting about 3-7 engine codes with a CEL. I'll clear them drive, no light. Park turn it off. Turn it back on and have a CEL

Have you fixed this? If not, what are the codes?

Fixed it by taking the top 15 fuse and jumping it with a jumper and making it 2 "10" fuses instead. It would crack with just 1 15 but now it's all good no errors

Glad to hear you got this all sorted out, how are you liking the system now that it has been working for a month? Let me know if you ever have any questions!

I've put over 2500 miles on it including at 600 mile trip. It rides very well. Only thing I have to sort out is a small leak at the front right connection. Other then that it's awesome!

If you're an air lift vender could you get sell me a dampening knob for the front strut lol.
