Forum is .... priceless!

[tz89]

My air suspension showed the dreaded E4 error. After studying Freebirds (thanks!) thread on the topic I tackled it today.

 

Removed the control unit from the bike (5 mins) and disassembled it while I was home for lunch.

 

These eyes are getting old so I really couldn't see solder breaks very well, so later in the afternoon I stopped at Radio Scrap and bought a hands free with magnifying glass, and some finer gauge solder.

 

Tonight after work while I still had light I thought what the heck go for it. Re-soldered 4 pins on one connector and a few on the other. Put it back together and re-installed it.

 

Turned the key and everything worked! Yes I was surprised and pleased with myself, and grateful to this forum for keeping me rolling.

 

And then since it was a very nice evening here in Salem Oregon I took it for a ride.

 

Thank you!

How is that working for ya Dan?

I found it works better if y'all take it out of the box.

Naaa.... You do not have to take it out of the box.

Just plug it in, it will find its way out of the box.....

 

The garage would be a good place to do this since it has good ventilation.........

My thoughts too, different situations, but priceless help.

 

Don't be getting any ideas Freebird, you are going to have to keep up the sales meetings and do like the rest of us and work till you drop over, no early retirement from other means of income.
