DSC Sport Controller kept going into fault over the last couple of weeks (defaults to full stiff, undriveable)
Error codes read from the unit - 65535 Unit Fault and 64 RF Shock Open Circuit
Opened up the frunk and removed plastic covers to reveal the top of the shock mount and Right Front PASM connector. Unplugged the connector (yellow male) and it was what can only be described as 'mashed'. Something or someone had clearly trapped or stood on the connector. It was physically snapped and the molded wires were barely touching the metal connector sleeves. The damaged must have gotten worse over time and finally presented the fault.
On stripping back the cable, I've managed to recover some of the old connector and temporarily fixed the connection.
When I re-ran the DSC Log, I then noticed when touching the cable entry point at the top of the shock absorber RF was going open circuit. Which, got me wondering if the entire shock has been hit or dropped at some point
Driving around for 1 hour yesterday after the connector fix, it presented no further DSC Controller faults
Does anyone know if you are able to buy these PASM connectors from Bilstein or Porsche? Spent a few hours searching Internet yesterday, but came up with nothing. I'm thinking or buying a second hand shock off eBay and reusing the connector (Splice it in), until I can afford to upgrade the whole suspension to something like B16 Damptronic Coilovers, or similar.
Anybody been through the PASM fix or upgrade process?
