Default Disconnecting the Electronic Suspension

Does anyone have any info or ever tried to disconnect the auto dampening ride control?

it turns out that I ordered the standard shocks instead of the electronic ones, I didn't even realize I had the ride control until I pulled the shock and there was a pigtail on it.

I could order the electronic shocks, they actually have a much shorter lead time. But since I'm mainly taking the car to the track, I'm not sure that I really need it and they are 3x expensive.

Given how picky the sensors on this car are, I imagine at the very least I will lose cruise control and probably traction control if I leave the sensors disconnected.

Since Jag seems to offer the XK without the ride control, there must be a way to recode the ECM to tell it that the car doesn't have that option right?

So I found this thread which seems to indicate that just disconnecting the ADCM module will solve the problem:

And I located the ACDM module here

I'll post feedback when I'm done.

All you have to do is pull the fuse 14 from the driver's footwell fuse box. The suspension will be set to the firmest mode.
