More Suspension faults
I recently changed out the top near side rear suspension arm on my 2006 HSE whilst doing so disconnecting the height sensor, all went went or so i thought until i fired it back up, when turning on the ignition the amber warning light came up on the dash and the display reads special programs off also the compressor is not running. So i plugged in the Faultmate MSV-2 and it does not display any faults but now things have gone bad to worse as the warning light has now turned red. any ideas pleaseMike

Hi
First thing I would check are the fuses , did u disconnect ur battery before starting plse , with the ign on have u got any lights on the raise / lower lever, terrain response dial area plse
Assume you’ve also had 4 x wheel alignment done as you’ve replaced the upper rear arm
May I ask plse, did u tighten the upper arm bolts when the disco was on the ground or up in the air
Hope that may help to get u started
Ps, as a side note , it’s normally best to replace suspension arms in pairs seeing u need the 4 x wheel alignment done after for the rear uppers and front lowers

More Suspension Faults
Thanks for the reply, Ill check the fuses and yes i did disconnect the battery before starting the job, but as for the 4 wheel check unfortunately haven't got that far yet need this light out first and the compressor working.
no lights on the height controlsMike
Make sure you have not bent a pin in the plug of the height sensor, they are quite thin and easily bent.

more suspension faults fixed
many thanks guys for all your help
took flacks advice and disconnected the plugs to check for a bent pin, everything appeared ok no bent pin. so i just cleaned the plug and socket with electroclean and reassembled and pleased to say the fault has cleared and everything is now running as it should.
so much grief but a simple fix Mike
