I've been reading through the posts about hicas elimination. I know there is a kit, but for the time being i just want to lock it into safety mode. My car is a 92 uk spec so i can't just pull a fuse as its mechanically operated. I've been told i can link it out at the plug on the valve itself but what wires do i link out?

Thanks,

Pull the plug that goes to the fluid level sensor (top of bottle) then short the plug where it goes back to the loom.

HICAS light should come on and it's done.

Does that not affect the power steering?

No, oddly enough it doesn't. Guess you don't want to turn that off! Also PAS is semi mechanical, HICAS is totally hydraulic, that may be why?!

ive done this and it works great :hyper:

I've done it now, what a difference! It feels a lot more secure and doesn't 'skip' left and right over bumps etc. Also when you're pushing it you get a much better feel of what the back end is doing. Thanks for everyone's help.

 

Cheers,

thinking about doing the Hicas on mine mate fancy popping round when im home after the 15th to show me where to short out on the plug ,,( last time i shorted something out it was the KPH to MPH convertor now its goosed ......) ill drop you a line when im home and give you the new address , i also have some bits you might want indicators side light assemblies and i should be bale to get the old front bumper back from the body shop if you want one as a spare
