    EAS - what goes up must come down

    Wow - another EAS thread no less...

    This one has got me stumped.
    My EAS refuses to function but does not register a fault. I start the car and the suspension does nothing, the pump does not come on either. When I plug in Storey Wilson's EAS software there are no faults recorded, when I press the pump button, the pump starts. It seems to me that the EAS is not sending a message for the pump to run - does that sound right?

    Anyone know where I should start with this? (apart from the coil conversion boys)

    check for, pump overheat (bridge the thinnest wire at the pump to ground and cycle the ignition plus wait a few minutes to reset system), pressure switch (testers normally read this the opposite way round to what it is) and of course the 10amp fuse in the eng bay fuse box.

    also check contacts on the wiring connections. Try swapping the Delay Timer (under passenger seat) and/or the Driver Unit with a known good unit from another P38... lure another member over with promises of beer

    Well, after fiddling around with it all yesterday the EAS decided to run perfectly with no issue - I am hoping that this doesn't signal a dreaded intermittent fault...
