Default Discovery Sport - New shock with no adaptive dampers !!

Hey guys. I just received and changed the 2 rear shock dampers on my Disco Sport 2017. I noticed the new damper did not have the electronic connectors but I figured I never used the option so no need for it. All in all, everything is back as smooth as day one but I do get the annoying "Adaptive dynamics fault" in my dashboard. I own a HSE so I guess what I installed is the non-HSE version.

Any quick tip to disable the warning in the dashboard ? I wonder if the wire shorting trick like the brake sensors work but I doubt it since these wires most likely have control voltage for a small pump versus a simple contact sensor.

A resistor on the wires would probably do the job but can anyone provide me on the electrical specs for this wire strip ?

Thanks in advance !

Anyone knows if I can remove the dampers head to just hook the electronics to the truck ? I see no difference in comfort so I just want the dashboard msg to go away. Thx
