PSE switch
Is it me or do all PSE switchs will only toggle between Regular operation and "Quiet all the time" mode. I had disconnected the vacuum hose when I had my '02 C4S (pre- switch PSE ) to have it Open all the time.
But my '04 C4S Cab has the Switch and when I turned it on, it just went to "Closed" mode and Off will operate "Normally". To have it open all the time, looks like I will still have to disconnect it.

Just to clear up some issues...Here is basically how the PSE system should work when the switch (and the rest of the electronics and vacuum valves) have been installed with the exhaust....
1...With the switch in the off position, the exhaust should be in sports mode (loud) but due to noise regulations in some countries the electronics are also connected to the speedometer signal and when travelling at approx. 30 - 45mph or so, the exhaust reverts to 'Quiet mode' within this speed window. Once the speed exceeds this window the exhaust gets loud again.
2...With the switch in the on position, the exhaust always remains in the quiet mode.
3...If the mufflers are installed without the associated electrics etc the exhaust will always be in the sports mode no matter what.
If you already have the switch and electrics installed (Step 1) you can bypass the cutout which occurs at 30-45mph via a very simple modification....Once this mod is completed your exhaust will always be in sports mode when the switch is off and you can then still switch in quiet mode if required.

I have done this mode and it works well (Thanks to Loren)

I know... it was ugly today lots of accidents, I was in the RX330 today. I have to bring the car back to Chambers tomorrow for my Lojack install and Inspection sticker. They are forcasting snow towards the end of the week which means the Cab becomes a garage queen till spring.
