P38A EAS Fault

I Have gone through Wammers archive and done as much as my old brain understands. The suspension will now go up or down but it takes ages for the light to stop flashing. On the easunlock should the 2 heights be locked or unlocked

What do you mean by " On the EAS unlock, should the 2 heights be locked or unlocked" ????
If it takes ages for the light to stop flashing, that normally means a weak compressor.

See attachment, mine was on locked but I have changed them to unlocked. I thought it might be the compressor but I have just put a new one on , not a recon. Went out to it earlier on and it was on high on the o/s but the n/s was way down.

I can't deduce anything from that tiny blurred image you posted.
You have an air leak somewhere.

Ok thanks I shall have another look tomorrow. Is this photo any better?

You need to click on it.

Click both off. Then unlock EAS. Then with ignition still on stop communications. Finally ignition off and then disconnect cable.

Next fix the compressor. With that working fill the tank. Then see if it rises as it should

I have looked everywhere I could for a leak ( squirted with soapy water ) and nothing I could see, I am waiting for my son in law to come over and get under the car and check the air tank for leaks. Both of the front pressures stay up, but the rears drop down to as low as 15 psi. My son in law fitted new rear pipes a few days ago and no leaks at all on the pipes. Could he have put the two pipes that go to the o/s/rear the wrong way round?

Confusing the pipes is easy to do so worth checking. If you can get it up to normal height, pull the EAS relay located uuder the passenger seat. If it still goes down with the relay out, then you can be certain there is a leak in the bags, the block or the pipes.
If the front stays up, it's not going to be the tank.

I have got to admit I do not know what I am doing. I have read Wammers archive, tried everything you have all said, it is worse now than when I started. I have given it up as a bad job until I find someone that knows how to fix it I have tried loads of mobile mechanics even a mechanic finder web site, but nobody wants to do it. I cannot afford to take it to a dealer. So it will have to sit in the garage until I find someone. I would just like to thank every one for there help, it is most appreciated.

I could not resist having another look to see if I could find anything. I have found that the pump is working fine but no air is coming out of any of the pipes going to the air bags.

Are the solenoids operating ?

I will test them later. I have just found out I have covid, so I can't go out yet.

Hi All, Sorry it has taken so long to reply but I have been ill with covid and other old age problems. The good news is I refurbished the Valve block and it now works. Thank you all again for your welcomed help.
