Hey guys,

I'm requesting that you pick one favorite picture of your car slammed with the "Ray Switch" and post it here. New "Ray Switch" owners or old owners it doesn't matter. We want to see those cars slammed!

Thanks everyone!

that is art ..... makes me upset I still have Rays Kit Not in My wife's car Yet , but the kit I used in my old 93 didn.t work it was that batch that had some faulty part, I know this is a newer kit for him and will work but I had spent a hour on the phone with ray installing the kit on my 93 , that was the first time I spoke to him. I know I couldn.t mentally it would be too upsetting , or physically do it my self (my son helped me before & he hardly speaks to me now )
and this is my wifes car she is a pain in the ass she just thinks I do stupid things

Okay, here's Barney finally lowered. This is for Ray. We love ya son.

Ok guys

Here are the pics, I resized them and posted them for Ray's Family. I must say the car looks sharp. It's nice to see Barney finally lowered. Thanks to mespock for providing the replacement rear solenoids, they seem to have done the trick!

I got my kit friday, installed it yesterday, here is the finished result.

I let the music blast for ray as it was dropping.

He'll never be forgotten as marks are still dropping across the country.
 
Cheers.

Thanks again adam, i have a few suggestions though. Somewhere in the directions you should include the tools needed (a small china man or two would come in handy for getting to the wires in the back) everything else was straight foward.

I messed up two of the T-Taps so i had to run and get some more. That :q:q:q:q was burried, it probably woulda been a hell of a lot easier had i removed the seat, but forget all that. :D

Its nice when it drops on the first try the first time, only thing is it takes two cycles for the rear to come down, sometimes three, i'm going to do some more stuff to the air system so i'll work on fixing that.

Also, you said remove the fuse if you do work on it, what if you remove the switch?

Last night i must of bumped the toggle and my front came down at about 30 miles an hour, not cool. So i'm thinking maybe i can just disconnect the switch instead of the fuse (since the fuse is burried)

What do you think? Would it do the same thing? I'm not familiar with the particular schematics of the switch, just what it does and how to put it in.
 
You could just splice a toggle switch in between the center lead on the back of the switch. Like the image shown below.


Not to mention, how kick a$$ would it be to have that sweet nitrous switch mounted on the dash, it would make somebody think you had something.

Would that do the same thing as removing the fuse?

If i wired a switch to the switch, could i disconnect the battery and reconnect and the system wouldnt recognize the ray switch was tehre.

Assuming both were in the off position?

(i actually have one of those switches my buddy yanked from advanced and gave to me, brand new in the package) OH SWEET

hahahaha :D

No, removing the fuse, removes the power from the "Ray Switch", adding that toggle switch would just not allow you to trigger the system to drop or to reset. It basically would just keep you from accidentally lowering the car.

Are you asking if you could drop the car, then pull the battery cable and then hook it back up, to get the "check air ride message" to go away?

If that is what you are asking, then no. The "Ray Switch" allows you to drop the car, whether it is running or not. If the car is dropped and then turned off, or if the car is off and dropped. Once you start the car the air ride system will resume it's normal functionality.

This works the same way if you press the switch the opposite way, the air ride system just believes that the car was just started and runs through it's checks to inflate the bags.


If you wanted, you could wire the switch in place of the fuse, but I would definitely add an inline fuse in there if you choose to do so. Remember the fuse is there in case of a short. But if you're just looking to keep from accidentally dropping the car, wiring the switch like above will work.
 
Thanks chicken. Mespock sent dad the solenoids and i got off my lazy butt and finally put them in. Now its time to get this thing running right tonite. Well see what happens.
 
shanks:

Chicken, Thanks man. Appreciated. Will try to get this d@*? piece running correctly, hopefully.
