I got my first error message for suspension repair/ battery saver in the EVIC the other day and the truck goes in Friday. The front was down and wouldn’t come up. I swapped the heater fan fuse and got it to normal height and put it in my shop until I can take it Friday.
Can Alpha along with pulling the fuse effectively disable the system for use in the winter? Or enabling jack mode and then pull fuse/Alpha.
Then reverse it to normal when the weather warms up?

You could disable the system but if one or more of the four corners suspension circuits has a leak you'll end up riding on the bump stops.

Sounds strange to me. I've driven over 350K kms total, in a 15 then 17 and now 19 with air ride and never experienced it. I wonder if you are moving the steering wheel without realizing it. I still hate the old Mercury and Lincolns for the side to side motion. It drives me nuts.
