    P38A EAS Compressor thermal switch: Sorted. Switch is kaput.

    CHECKING THERMAL SWITCH ON COMPRESSOR THAT DOES NOT RUN ON VEHICLE. Remove compressor plug from socket. Test continuity between Orange wire and Black wire. If continuity switch is ok. If none switch is duff. OR if you don't own a test meter. Leave plug connected and strip a small amount of...

    P38A EAS Compressor thermal switch: Sorted. Switch is kaput.

    Hi folks, Would anyone happen to know why after having installed a new air compressor, but filled up the airbags with a workshop air compressor, then when performing all diagnostic checks in the vehicle and after testing the compressor (using Hawkeye) it is saying the Thermal Switch is hot? Up...

    Hello again folks. Last question (I hope. Yes I have trawled through the forum without any success in finding an issue similar to this one). I want to test the delay timer relay from under the LHF passenger seat but I haven't been able to find what pins I need to apply power and ground to. Just...

    Thanks for the offer, Alan. I'm going to test everything on the car side of things first. I'm not even going to think of putting a new compressor in until I've confirmed there are indeed no problems with the cars' electrics. Especially given the prices I have seen for OEM compressors. On that...

    Thanks guys. To me with not having any electrical experience at all, it does seem strange that Land Rover would put two of the major components piggybacking the same fuse. So far, if I remember correctly, the EAS has 2 relays and 4 fuses. Why (rhetorical question)? I'm going to trace the wires...

    I have just confirmed, after another brainwave on the men's thinking chair, that it is the air compressor causing the issues. Why I never thought of this 2 weeks ago I don't know. Why no one else said to remove the compressor from the system(unplug it) I don't know. To be fair though, everyone...

    Hi, Grrr (interesting name). My car is from March 2001. So I don't know how much later it was they separated the EAS & starter motor. I bought a pack of 10 40 amp fuses so in the meantime, I am doing just that but it feels even more so like throwing money at the car without actually fixing the...

    Thanks guys. I've been a member since 2018 but forgot my password so I have been reading many posts since then, just without commenting. It's only yesterday the password hit me like a wet fish to the face. Anyway, it is what it is. "Whilst you still have a full tank of air, remove the self...

    Hi and thank you for responding. I do plan to refurb the old, original, compressor now having read your posts. Thankfully like my father I don't throw out 'knackered' pieces or parts. So I shall see if I can take bits of the 3 'spare' compressors I have and get the original one working again. I...

    Hi. I've just been reading through both of your posts on this topic because yes, you guessed it, I am currently having the exact same issue. I apologise for this being so long but I need to get the setting right, as I'm sure most of this is familiar to you. So please bear with me and if anyone...
