I would appreciate some advice.
My 1995 P38 4.6 HSE has had a suspension problem for over a year. (as you can see by my previous request for help)
EAS Compressor will not cut in. Tried a known working compressor but same fault therefore I assume heat sensor is OK in mine. Bought new sensor which fits under valve block ~ fitted ~ same problem compressor not cutting in. When the Beast lowers, I jump the fusebox relay to get her back up. Had a severe water leak through windscreen, new screen now fitted and my suspicion is that wires have corroded therefore no power to compressor on switching. (Bear with me I'm not a techie!)
This what I'm thinking of doing and I would like some advice to see if it makes sense.
!). jumping the relay works
2). as the relay is essentially a switch why not replace it with a switch with a cable through to the dash with dash switch warning light?
3). When EAS dash lights start flashing I would flick the switch to activate compressor until EAS is normal
Would doing this cause any harm for instance to the engine bay fuse box?
Any other thoughts?
Trying to avoid any expense as I'm a pensioner with limited income.
