I'll be getting my baby back in a few hours at a total cost of about $2,800.00. 
They were able to get every code cleared. Turned out there are some fuses that are under the fuse box in the engine bay. There were a few that were blown under there.
The only thing they couldn't clear is the flashing suspension (!) in the binnacle. I didn't have it before even after I got it from being lifted and all, back 5 years ago.
My new question is how to put that flashing (!)? Is there a plug (or something) to fit in there that'll read a closed circuit?
Acrad??? Any ideas???

Geez sorry to hear it had to go this far to find fuses under fusesI'll be getting my baby back in a few hours at a total cost of about $2,800.00.

Hopefully you can get that last light cleared
Is it just flashing <!> symbol? or are there other lights and messages?
What residual codes are still being detected?

The mechanic says all the codes are clear, the /!\ is not flashing, it's just on.
Nothing else is on and drives fine, albeit, I haven't been on the freeway yet or a long drive.
I be driving a lot tomorrow so I'll see if anything else pops up. I'm not expecting anything, I think it's clean, just that /!\

Not sure on that one.. I don’t recall anyone reporting that behavior before without another light or error illuminated.
You may have to resort to disabling the bulb for that one

That would be GREAT! to just remove the bulb and then I can also get rid of that annoying AFS light too!
Where in the world do you find these videos! Yeah, it's in Russian, but the visual is enough to figure it out.
Not sure if I can remove the LED's, if they're soldered on a PCB board, or just black out the little recess they're in. Either way it'll work.
Although my best choice would be if I could actually find the problem and not have to red-neck it.

Sorry, but I have to back-peddle that, "That would GREAT!" statement.
Just went for an hour drive to visit one of my vendors and the little monochrome display in the very center of the binnacle that I like to keep the outside temperature displayed would constantly change from the temp or whatever I had displayed to "Air Suspension Error" (or something like that.
I'm going to have to figure out how to do it right... Ugg.

On another unrelated note, I did fix something and I didn't blow up anything electrical!
I fixed my torn drivers seat. It was really starting to bug me.
This is the before picture.
I decided to just sew it! We had some thread very close in color and started stitching.
And here's the final product.
This is the thread I used.
I couldn't be happier with the final job! It looks as good in person as it does in the pictures.
If you look really close, within a couple of inches with good eyes you may see the thread.

If you get a chance see what codes you get attached to Network E

If you mean is our iKamper the large one, yes it is. It's an early one before they made the other sizes, so we don't even have the quilted world map in the inside, just the quilting.
Amazingly comfortable, warm in 30°F without a ton of blankets or extra layers. Even in wind it quite quiet if I'm situated so the wind hits the hard shell. My wife and I have timed opening and closing.
Open: 90 seconds
Close, including tucking in the sides: 3 minutes
We've had it for about 5 years now and the only thing that there's an issue with is the front window plastic has cracked with a slit. But it's kept up on top 24/7/365 and we live in So. Cal so we get some warm temps.
My only other issue is that it does not have racks for our surfboards or paddle board. Really wish it had rails for racks on the sides.

Took a little time to put together a small chart of some of the specifications between the 460 and 550, now that they're being released.
But what I put together here is a little easier than having to track it all down yourself.
Apologies, Excel doesn't copy over very well.

I thought the 460 width is without mirrors and the 550 width is with mirrors. I think the cab shell is roughly the same order of magnitude, dimensionally.
Brochures used to list 20MPG on highway up through 2016 model year. My top mileage is around 20.5MPG.
