Unable to disable EPS - 1/1/2006 9:49:50 PM    IXLR8   Posts: 376 Joined: 12/27/2005 From: Katy, TX Status: offline Although there is an EPS off button on my dash when I depress it nothing happens. The manual says that the EPS light should come on to show that it is disabled, yet it does not. Does anyone have any ideas? I tried beating on the dash with 24" crescent wrench but it did not help either...(not really) Post #: 1

RE: Unable to disable EPS - 1/11/2006 7:25:31 AM    IXLR8   Posts: 376 Joined: 12/27/2005 From: Katy, TX Status: offline The verdict was that it works fine. The button does not require being held. It was simply a matter of not seeing the indicator that shows that the ESP system is on bypass. The indicator was behind a spoke of the steering wheel so that I could not see it turning on and off. It does seem to launch a little better with the additional wheelspin. I am waiting to get my G-Tech back from my buddy to get some accellereation times.

I have never heard anyone being successful in reprograming the ABS module. I would really hesitate because if that module goes down, the car will get stuck in gear and wont have throttle responce due to the electronic throttle and trans controller all realy on the ABS for wheel speed. _____________________________ Don't worry about anything, nothings going to go right anyways (in reply to IXLR8) Post #: 7

RE: Unable to disable EPS - 2/5/2006 11:18:47 PM    baldyloxs Posts: 1092 Joined: 10/28/2005 Status: offline I called the guy and spoke with him its a really easy install it cost 199.99 he says they are shipping them out left and right .He told me they have 2 srt8's and they are easily disabled in those cars.I would wait and see what the tuners offer cause they should eliminate the traction control.I guess what I am saying you may be out 200 bucks if you buy this switch and new tuner.I am going to wait and see what the tuners have to offer before I buy either one of them tuners will offer more than the switch.It just tells the ecu that the fan is on dont look for it and you wont get that .0002 of a sec delay before it shifts.You know the one that you can tell power is beign robbed?I can tell it bogs down when shifting . I hope I helped any of you out . (in reply to dodgerla) Post #: 14

RE: Unable to disable EPS - 2/7/2006 7:09:28 AM    Will the Thrill   Posts: 9 Joined: 2/2/2006 Status: offline As stated above, hitting the button on the dash in anything other than an SRT-8 still leaves the system on at about 80%. No matter how long you hold the button, cross your eyes, sprinkle fairy dust on your dash, it is still going to be slightly on. You can, however, disable it completely on all Chargers (and Magnums and 300s as well) by popping your hood and removing fuse #17. This will also take our your ABS I believe, so please only do it at the track. (in reply to baldyloxs) Post #: 15
