Default Air Suspension is Uneven after replacing Driver front shock

I replaced a leaking Front Air suspenion shock, now when I got it all ready to
roll again, the front Right is not comming up. (in fact it pull a vacum on the bag
when I jack up that side)

I have read a bit on testing the system, but is there an easy way to make it
reset itself.

the original problem was the front left leaking, so in the morning, it was
always way down. the new shock (from Arnot Industries) came up running
fine, but now the right front is sitll down, and the back left is way up.

What shall I do next.

(I have the control button on, after turning it off to fix the car)

I have bounced it, ran it for 20 min, hoping it would kick in. Nothing.

help.....

Well this morning the battery was a bit low, so I had to jump it.

The book says to clear the ECU pull EFI fuse form J/b #12.

Did that, and nothing.

Then I pulled the Negative off the battery. Left it off for
20 min. (just for good measure)(

Hooked it up, jumped the car, and walla, the shocks reset!

Also, the Tempeture Display in the car came back!
It was half gone, but now it looks normal! Added bonus.

I recommend taking the negative off the Battery and letting
the car reset itself at least once a year!

By the Way the Arnot air shock was $399, and its way better
thant the stock, just looking at it you can see that, but it
airs up faster and its guarenteed for LIFE. (not 90 days like
the stock ver.)

As a follow up, the AC display went back to the nasy black
filled look, but it did look perfect for about 10 minutes!

So far the shock is fine, I am going to replace the
right side after a few months, since the left feel so
much better...
