I saw one poster with similar issues, he cured it by undoing the connector in the back of the N47-5 ESP Controller and cleaned the corroded terminals and all was good thereafter.
Q. Can I just switch off, key out and undo the ESP Controller connector, and the ESP-ABS Ground connection (there seems a little corrosion under the clear plastic sleeving)
Or will I have to have STAR to “Commission” control unit N47-5?
Note WIS says if you “remove / install” the N47-5 you need STAR. But are they assuming a new replacement unit? I.e. do you if you just remove the connector?
Hopefully not, as surely thats not disimilar to disconnecting the battery .. is it?
The only other thing I can do is clean up the terminals in the prefuse box. Its pretty open to the elements at the side.
Thats if I can get the lid off its not budging a mm!
The negative - ground terminal has a O.00 Ohms resistance to the body earth so that seems fine.
Now waiting for the battery to die, and by replaced by Mobilo
Then as soon as thats done, if that doesnt resolve it perfectly then its going off to my Indy.
