If you want to have the switch work but not have it go quiet at low speeds when in the loud mode then you have to disconnect the speedometer lead.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For some reason I can't find prior posts that discussed modifying the relay wiring so that my PSE doesn't shut off at low speeds. I know I want to cut the grey/pink wire (vs. cutting the diode) but I can't figure out how to get that panel off to get to the wires. I removed the nut from the right side (and dropped and lost it somewhere) but I can't figure out how to loosen up the left side closest to the driver door. I did see a couple of links referring to Renntech but i'm not subscirbed to that. Can someone help inform me on how to do this?

POST 2Original post

I have no clue.............but if I was you I would subscribe to Renntech. It is free and you can donate what you want to keep the site active........in turn helping guys like you.

POST 3Original post

No need to cut any wires. Simply unplug the orange (brown?) plug in the pic and you'll have the PSE in permanent loud mode.

POST 4Original post

I had my PSE modified so it doesn't shut off, and now I have to wear absorbent underwear. You sure you want that... OH.. Wait... does PSE stand for Prostate Spectacularly Enlarged?

I did the mod shown on renntech, works like a charm, and I can still shut bypass valves off from console switch. Does unplugging plug in your pic still allow switch functionality? 2002 Turbo - Basalt Black Metallic / 2003 Carrera 4S - Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 - Rust Red

POST 6Original post

Unfortunately my poverty-spec C2 didn't come with the console switch so I can't confirm this, Dave. However, my best guess is that it'll render the switch useless...it'll still stay in noisy mode even if you flip the console switch to "quiet".

POST 7Original post

If you unplug the connector at the valve then it will always be on the Loud setting. If you want to have the switch work but not have it go quiet at low speeds when in the loud mode then you have to disconnect the speedometer lead.

POST 8Original post

Link to renntech relay mod: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...ed/#entry17942 I did this a couple of years ago and it keeps the switch functional but disables the low-speed on/off feature.

POST 9Original post

I made very easy to follow DIY with lots of pictures. See link. Couldn't be happier https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...with-pics.html

POST 10Original post

Forgot to say that the on/off switch also continues to work as well

exactly right. This is the correct mod! Easy to execute, and switch remains functional. Took me about 5 min, because I was extra careful... 2002 Turbo - Basalt Black Metallic / 2003 Carrera 4S - Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 - Rust Red

POST 12Original post

If you really want it to be permanent you can also remove the vacuum lines along with this relay to save a couple of pounds of weight. I did that a few years ago since I had no need to keep this extra hardware. Of course I kept all of it in a bag in case I change my mind though.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry for the delay in update. i did the mod subzero recommended and as others mention, it takes 5 minutes. My only difficulty was getting a wire cutter to the diode (it's a little cramped). Actually ended up breaking the diode in half and then I just cleaned it up from there. Thanks a lot for the detailed diy subzero!

POST 15Original post

nice! yea my diode broke as well but its okay good stuff!!

Works great ! Good job on the write up, easy to follow. Thank you.

POST 17Original post

I did this last night (interrupted the circuit with the diode) and am very pleased. WTBS, I left the diode there and only bent it up about 3/16 of an inch so I could solder it back later if I need to.

thats what I did too. I like that the switch still quiets the exhaust. 2002 Turbo - Basalt Black Metallic / 2003 Carrera 4S - Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 - Rust Red

POST 19Original post

agreed. having the switch makes a world of difference when stealth mode is required.
