    Default Can I Disable the air-pump to the bladder raising the rear?

    I replaced the rear shock absorber for my 2014 RT with an Elka when the pump to the raise/lower bladder couldn't keep pace with a leak. Problem Solved!

    But, the pump continues to cycle every 45-seconds or so.

    My question: Is there a way I can <easily> disable the pump mechanism so as to stop the annoying noise?

    Brad: Yes. I'm sure that I still have a leak because I didn't address the leak I only added an Elka shock.

    The pump is continuing to attempt to inflate the bladder ... but the noise it makes is irritating. Is it possible to disable the pump (perhaps by cutting its power)?

    Best wishes, Caven

    I don't have a manual in front of me, but might it be as simple as pulling a fuse?

    I don't know if the pump is on its own fuse or shares the circuit with something else.
