'00 LXi Suspension Level Alarm

[David Brady]

When I bought my coach that purple wire was snipped.
I reconnected it and diagnosed my slide pin that wasn't
engaging properly. I suppose there are cases where the
buzzer buzzes spontaneously, but I'm not sure that snipping
the wire is the best solution for all. I connected mine, fixed
the root cause, and she's been fine ever since.
