2010 RT-SM5 Rear Suspension Continually Running

[MarkLawson]

When in gear, the rear suspension pump runs continuously. It pumps up, air releases through the valve and then pumps up again. Runs through this cycle every 10 seconds or so. I know the pump will soon fail.

Any thoughts?

Start looking for a air leak.

FIXED!

As I was leaving a Spyder dealership where I asked for it to be checked ("Sorry, but we don't do diagnostics on Saturdays, but you can leave it with us and we'll look at it in a week."), my mechanic, Josh, walked out and warmly greeted me. He said he thought he recognized my RT. I told him of my problem and he looked under the left side & 5 seconds later stood up and said "It's fixed!", and it is.

Turns out that a few days ago I replaced the rear disc pads, rotor and wheel bearings. I had disconnected the ACS rod to the sensor before removing the lower shock bolt. When I reconnected it, I flexed the joint it attaches to the wrong direction. From that point on, when the rear suspension moved up or down, the sensor read it opposite of what it should. I was driving it nuts! (My wife could testify to my ability in that regard...)
