    EAS question of the day

    Hi all,

    This has me baffled.

    The EAS shows no faults on Storey Wilson's software, but the car will not rise. The pump does not turn over, but runs when I switch on through the software.
    There are no leaks in the system
    I have replaced the valve block, pressure switch + driver pack
    I have rebuilt the pump
    The becm reports as it should

    The car has been running around with the timer disconnected for about 12 months and I'm wondering whether it may have become damaged. Does anyone have experience of a damaged timer? if so, what are the symptoms?

    Have you checked the thermal cut out switch on the compressor, check this out.

    You guys... :-)
    Sounds exactly the issue. I had a good look round Storey ' s website and missed this one. Can it be overridden in the short term?

    Yes - you can just ground it out - the black wire on the compressor that is. But be aware of when and for how long your compressor is operating for. You wouldn't want to burn it out. Do you have a EAS delay timer switch installed? Handy for occassions like this. ]

    In the past I have bypassed the Thermal switch inside the pump by soldering a wire across the terminals in place of the switch. 5 years of running with no dramas on one car, at least 2 on another.

    I don't have a delay timer. What is it and how does it work?

    Hi

    The EAS delay timer switch mod will disable the automatic stuff on the EAS

    You can also pull the EAS delay timer relay which is located under the passengers set

    But do you have a switch installed to save unplugging it every time you want to freeze the auto function of the EAS?
