Simple EAS disabling tip....

[Hoges]

A contributor to rr.net has come up with the forehead-smacking discovery... that a spare 4-pin yellow relay substituted for the EAS timer relay turns off the self levelling feature when the ignition is switched off. The timing relay is only needed for diagnostics... no need to cut wires, patch relays in the fuse box... just plug in a 'yella' one

Just reading that hoges ......how cool and simple....just chuck the timer relay in the glove box.

Bugger! I recently did the Swedish mod!

So if I read right, you're saying that by putting a yellow relay in place of the delay timer relay you'll still get all of the normal EAS operation while the ignition is on, but it essentially disables the self leveling when the ignition is off?

That's awesome!

Just plug the delay timer back in if you need to read/clear faults!

Does that render the isolation switch useless? Or would the yellow relay still allow the car to drop to its haunches under fault conditions?

Maybe I should go back on rr.net. I haven't been there for nearly 4 years.

Ah! but you are still remembered
My main reason for dropping in there is to keep tabs on leftlanetruckin's lsxx conversion which appears to be finally complete... though you'd need expert machinists, a humungous workshop and a lot of time to pull together all the specialist bits required for the job... he's apparently going to put a list together .... personally it's about as feasible on this side of the Pacific at the moment as discovering Lasseter's reef!

It would then follow that if anyone has valve block issues they could return to their rangie at all sorts of weird angles!
Might look like its drunk inthe parking lot at the local

Then again after a few hours in the local it may look normal

I had a suspension malfunction out bush this weekend, turns out it was a 20c plastic pirtek fitting (so I replaced it with stainless), anyway what I'm here for is to say I did the yellow relay trick and I'm happy to say that my P38 hasn't got Peter Garrett syndrome and is still sitting as i left it last night.

Best and cheapest mod ever!
