Default air suspension to non air question

I recently changed over the air suspension on my car to non air struts. I have a warning symbol in the middle of my tachometer as well as the "height hi" wording on my dash. My question is, how do i get rid of both descriptions from my dash.

Thank you in advance.

Did you take out an air compressor fuse?

Do you mind telling me where to find that fuse is?

Your warning is due to either the removal of the height sensors or that they are not within their proper spec. Make sure you remove the fuse for the air compressor as mentioned but this will not cause a warning. I honestly don't remember what fuse it is. Should say in your owners manual.

hey guys.
I honestly just got around to figuring out how to manage this issue.
I pull the air compressor fuse, and the both the height high sign and exclamation point came off, however, the AFS light comes on and starts flashing! That fuse seems to connect the 2 somehow. So it seems to be a trade off.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there another alternative to fix this issue?

You naturally want to disable the power to the compressor. This is first. UL's have air suspension computers. You need to leave the height sensors in place and within their programmed specs. This will prevent issues with warning lights.
