Driver info center.
Ever since i put a speaker box in my trunk, ( big one ) whenever i go over an average size bump my DIC gives me the beep beep beep. it can get very annoying..
is it a warning the air ride compressor is kicking in.. or not kicking in..
is there a way to disable the dinging..
it doesnt happen on every bump , it has to be a fair size, not like potholes.
entering a parking lot , also if i hit a dip in the road on a highway same beep beep.

this didnt start happening until i put extra weight in the trunk.
and I was told there is a compressor that adjusts the ride height.
this beep means my suspension is broken ??
it never made a sound before.

Just have to steal the thread, I just bought a 1990 sse, do I have Air ride suspension?
Or is it just some models that has Air Ride technology?

the rear end stops bouncing amost immediately..

I know what you are referring to though.. . my old gran torino'* shocks went out
and the back end would bounce constantly..

is it for sure something about the air ride? or is that just a guess....
this might or might not help, but on my old 1989 SE, I had 2 15" subs in the trunk. after a few weeks, the subs moved so much air, that I would get a "ding ding ding" from the DIC telling me that the trunk was open, when in reality, it was the subs actually moving so much air that the DIC sometimes got a "trunk open" signal.
after a week or so of this, it got to the point where any little bump, even going down a driveway would set it off!!!
I had to adjust the latch to make it stop.
I only thought about this because you said a big speaker box was installed, so maybe this will help, maybe not

great info.. something i will look into.
however, i just get the ding sound .. there is no visible indication on the DIC
I know it works because I have left the trunk open and got both a visual and sound notification.
and its just a guess for suspension from my part.

thats how mine started, it would go so quickly that the light barely had time to flash. I would hear a ding, then by the time I looked, the light was off.
It took a few weeks to find out for sure, for the light to actually stay on long enough to see it.
