Yet another SARC Question

[Infinitelimits8]

Recently I've pulled the SARC fuse and have been very impressed with feel/drive of the sho in "stiff" mode..I dont mind the rougher ride and love the stiffer steering, by leaving the fuse pulled will it cause any issues?

I pulled mine out 2 and a half months ago, and every week it feels to get ******, yet bumpier at the same time. You'll know what I mean in a while

So far, I haven't seen any problems come up with mine.

No, other than running the struts full hard and the power assist off, there are no major issues to be considered.

I disconnected the SARC strut sensors (in fact removed
them). This still gives the VAPS but makes the struts stiffer all the time.

Aside from a switch allowing the same thing, that seems to me the more sensible way to go rather than just pulling the fuse.

One question Stephen:

I was thinking about putting a switch in my car. Is it safe to turn the switch on and off while driving, or should you do it at a stand still?

 

[stephen newberg]

An excellent question, and I do not really know the answer. I have always been cautious on it, not wanting any potential voltage spikes in the system, and flipped it to the desired setting while the ignition is off.

Anyone car electrical oriented that would like to tackle this, keeping in mind that it all connects up as inputs to the vehicle computer?

No problem I would think.

When I had the VAK setup going one of the things it did was cut the SARC power when the throttle was at WOT. This was to cut the PS pressure down.
