EAS - Spoke too soon

Hi Trev, did you have any success with the swapped driver and relay from Paul?

Peter

I haven't borrowed them yet, hopefully tonight.

I've already tried a timer relay and driver box, and ECU, from a mates parts car with no effect, but they are of unknown quality so worth a second test.




This is my third air suspension car and the biggest problem with them is that I can only buy another air suspension car to replace it.

Disco 3 or L322 next.

Any luck so far Trev. Keep us all updated if you identify the cause. I have ordered an o ring kit from Paul so will let you know how that goes

I've tried the timer relay but it made no difference. I've just got a temp sensor from our saviour, Paul, and will fit it tomorrow.

I've found that if I run a thick earth wire to the temp sensor, (orange wire to the compressor), it seems to run fine.

So, fit a new temp sensor tomorrow and see how we go from there.

Trev do you have an open or closed circuit when you test for continuity between the black and orange terminals on the compressor when cold.

Peter
I had a closed circuit, but I think it is basically an intermittent fault.

Its been working fine since the temp sensor has shorted out.

I probably wont get to fit the new temp sensor today, but will keep you informed of progress.

Regards

OK, fitted the new temp sensor and everything seems to work fine.

Its interesting to note that both the old and new sensor tested the same with a multimeter, but the new one works. Go figure.

I have previously advised that the brushes should be tied back with fishing line.

I have now found that the white plastic washer that seems to be useless is actually used to hold back the brushes whilst fitting the brush holder.

So, I'm happy, the world is back on an even keel, and so is the Rangie.

I hope I'm not jinxing myself!
