switches
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more

Anyone know how to diagnose the illumination of the switches
on the right
side (defrost, ecs, active exhaust, rear wiper)? The
backlight doesn't turn
on on that side for some reason? but all of the
buttons still work!
Also, my active exhaust switch broke. I took it
apart it appears once of
the hinges snapped, wonder if I can order just that
switch? It still works
but is
loose.
Thanks.

I have the same problem
entering my driveway every day, does anybody know if
I can safely put a
switch on the ABS fuse to disable it when entering my
drive???? can this be
turned on and off safely while the car is running?
thanks!!!

No,

Damn you Oskar!!! You gave away a Minnesota 3/S

Several things will work to hold the

not sure If you got my previous email
about Cory and his five speed [ see below ]
I would also like to know how
much Southern charged for the bearing/seal set.
MD Auto sells the
bearing/seal kit for $225/$175 and GTR motorsport sells the
bearing kit for
$180 --- I think they also have a seal kit but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what the oil director is but I assume it's the
black plastic insert
for the intermediate shaft bearing [ see attached photo
]. Try talking to Cory
at
Patryn8@aol.com he was parting out a five
speed.

Hi Henri,
If you have the Blitz DSBC
(DBCS), then you may have the same problem I had.
Check the little connector
that is at the solenoid end of the system
(connects the solenoid to the
controller box). I had one of the pins go
back into the connector
housing breaking the contact, and hence the solenoid
is always open, giving a
max boost of around 6psi. You can also test this
if you have a
multimeter (set it to resistance measurement), buy
disconnecting the
connector to the Blitz controller and measuring the
resistance between the
wires which go to the solenoid (blue and white wires
from memory). If
there is high resistance, then the connector is probably
to
blame.
Hope this helps,
Simon.

This is a note to inform everyone that PacBel
suffered approximately a 30
minute outage between 12:15a and 12:45a here at
the bunker.
A large section of the San Jose area DSL grid was affected,
and the
offending hardware (Redback ATM Aggregator) has been kicked hard in
just the
right spot.
I hope nobody saw a disruption or a
bounce.
Thanks.

First, our ECU cannot get a chip upgrade, because the program is within
the MPU ! The only way to upgrade the computer is to install a daughterboard and
to adapt the stock program. For a non-turbo car this will give you around 7hp if
any and in my option, $780 for 7hp would be the most money wasting I ever heard
of ! Some will promise you 22hp but I'd not believe in this as changing the fuel
maps and ignition maps doesn't help a lot. Especially not on a
non.turbo.

This happened to me two weeks ago (same
switch!). I ordered a new one
from Tall. Mitsu:

I submitted the order two
weeks ago and have not yet received the part,
but I don't necessarily blame
this on Tall. Mitsu (the APO CMR here is
often puzzlingly slow). I did
get a confirmation Email and am confident
it's on its way. The part I
asked for was the entire switch, not just
the plastic rocker.
Good
luck!
