Thread: Keithy P38

G'day mate,

Off the top of my head I can't recall. There may be other lads here who can help out short-term. May even need to use the earth on the relay.

I see Steve (SteveFarmer) and Gary (mtb_gary) have both done this mod. Perhaps they can confirm?

Ill have a look on rave before I start splicing to confirm.

Cheers
Keithy

Had a bit of a look but I cannot identify which wire is the earth !!!

Do you remember what the colour code for that wire is or in case your wiring is different to mine, can you identify which pin on the timer is the earth ?

Ta.

Robert do a search on this site for this as there is a post about it somewhere.
I have setup this switch with a red led on dash above EAS switch, Led is on when EAS is off. very handy sometimes! If car throws up fault it gives you time to switch off before going down to bumpstops. That way you miss out on the Patrol ride home!
I think from memory it is a purple wire with red stripe you are looking to splice into but may stand corrected.

Yep I think the purple with red stripe is the +12V supply for the computer off memory.

Thanks all.
I will try that purple & red wire after I buy a switch in town on Thursday.

I dont have to worry much about going down on the bump stops because I bought the bypass kit from Paul and I carry a portable compressor but by cripes it is a pain in the butt.
Bypass kit and EAS kicker, more valuable than a full Sidchrome tool box.

Cheers.

PS: People are beginning to notice the 24/7 glazed look that comes from owning a spitefull P38.

Confirming the purple with red stripe for the power supply wire to the EAS delay timer.
Good luck

Gary

That's a pos wire is it? I assume you ran a wire to the switch then a wire back to the other side of the splice?

Keith, you're right that is a +ve lead. I used that one because I wanted an orange indicator on the switch to show I had the EAS turned on.

Yeh the switch is good to stop it before it ends up on the bump stops. Like in a river crossing the if the height sensors stuff up. Emergency valves don't help ya there.

I'm sorta hoping that cutting the positive might also protect the computer more if water gets in there...
