Default AVS switch box

I just got this installed and let me tell you its the best! It's so much better than that big stupid plexy glass box I had. A couple of the toggle switches on that thing would stick and it sucked. The AVS one is so much nicer and I can hold it in one hand and it has a lock so I can lock it up and throw it on the floor when I'm driving and not have to worry about it falling and a switch getting hit, causing my car to lift or drop when I'm driving. So if anybody has one of those plexy glass boxes switch to one of these. If you are planning on getting air ride, get one of these.

when you hold what switch? for a single bag? if so, more likely, you have the dump valve connected to the up and the fill valve connected to the down. otherwise, the box could be wired wrong.

Its when I hold any of the 7 switches up the car goes down...and far right top switch controls the left front tire and vise versa...

I got it done at a new shop that specialize in air suspension...

I would think professionals would know if a simple task like this is done correctly or not...

it sounds like they just wired it up wrong. did you give them the directions that came with the box? i would take it back to them and have them re-wire it.

you're holding it upside down....

maybe not. your far right top switch controls the front left correct? not the back left right?

either they connected the wrong wires to the wrong places or you just got a bogus switch that someone screwed up on at the factory. it happens.

also, just because someone works at a shop, doesn't mean they are professionals

isn't each wire labeled? i don't think i even got directions..... just plug in the wires to the appropriately labeled wire.
