While diagnosing a ride height issue, the car never sat perfectly level.
I noticed some weird values in the ride height sensors.
With the front of the vehicle lifted off the ground, wheels fully extended, I'm showing 0.5v in the RF sensor and 4.5 volts in the LF.
When I manually move the level sensors up towards max range , 4.5v RF, 0.5V LF.
I don't see any way to flip or rotate the sensors. One is always going to be opposite voltage of the other. It's like I have 2 right front level sensors but the part # appears to be the same for both sides

Looking at the voltages, while trying to lower the car by lengthening the links, the LF the voltage is going up & RF voltage is dropping. I was under the impression both are supposed to mirror each other?
I can get the left front to sit on the fender but the RF will only lower an inch or so but won't go past that no matter how long I make the link
Second photo is after I lowered the car 15mm all around:
Left front increases voltage as you lower the car.
Right front decreases voltage as you lower the car.
Rear sensor increases voltage as you lower the car.

Thank you.
When I was searched, it said the voltage should match the other said & my sensor arm could of been rotated or swapped. After taking off both level sensors & banging my head for an hour, there simply isn't possible to reverse or accidentally swap the sensors.
