Good evening, Haven't been on here for a while, project for rebuilding my P38 had to go on the back burner for a while. I've only just started back on it recently and decided that I'd try and get the suspension working if I could. I know there is soooo much for this topic but I've been reading so much the last few days that I've got a bit of information overload. Plus I can't seem to see exactly the problem I have.
It's a 01 2.5D and I've done the following with the suspension.
1. Rebuilt pump and valve block.
2. New pump.
3. Cut out the two connector blocks in the passenger footwell and soldered the wires together (there was some serious corrosion on the pins)
4. Swapped the EAS ECU
5. Swapped the delay relay.
6. Swapped the Switch on the dash.
I can raise and lower the bags on the EAS Unlock software. The bags will hold for days without dropping from the height I set them at. I have no lights on the ride control switch and can't change the heights with it, there is 12v power coming to the switch. The 35mph warning is on the dash.
It was parked up for a good year and a half beside my mothers house on the bump stops, but to give it it's due I threw a battery into her, pumped the primer a few times and she started straight up and drove to my house not a problem (bar the uncomfortable ride on the bump stops, it was only a quarter mile so not too bad)
It's been so long sitting and it got damp inside the cabin that I'll be going around to do all the earth points again just to rule them out. It's parked in a nice dry garage now.
I think I've covered most of the points.
Thanks.
