Hey volks, I've heard/read repeatedly that bypassing the transistor on the circuit board on the stove front will eliminate pump op problems but cannot determine exactly how to do so. Please give details if you've done this. I've searched and searched the archives here and on Samba and can't seem to determine exactly how. It appears the yellow and black leads on the board are both connected to the can (transistor). Those match the colors of the leads that actually power the pump. I was about to disconnect and short together the yellow and black leads (bypassing the can?) but am afraid of disabling more than I intend. Also, there's a white lead (on one side only) of the harness connector that leads to the circuit board. Someone please identify the function of this white lead.
Thanks! -- Neil '82 Diesel Westy Me other car is Swedish |
