Trying to figure how to connect my code alarm 6550 aux output (-) to my air ride switch that way I can air my truck up with just pressing the aux button. I was able to install my own alarm but am scared to just wire this up and mess up something.

Well, your alarm unit is giving a pulseed output or latched output (RTFM - read to code alarm install guide).

From there, you want to use that pulse to trigger the desired circuits of your air ride.

You will probably need to built a small relay circuit since the output of the code alarm is probably too weak (i think it's 250 mA current capable)

Others may help if you give more info on the air ride.

Wiring diagram

Brand

etc...
