chucklehead Report post Posted July 5, 2019 Need to get new Min switch for front lift, 2004 Murcielago. Has anyone tried generic pressure switches? PVL website. 41 B/C diaphragm pressure switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy Report post Posted July 5, 2019 If it has the same specs, it should work. You can bet Lambo used an off the shelf part. How much is that switch? If it's inexpensive enough, it's worth the gamble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimpy Report post Posted July 5, 2019 You won't pay VAT if you are having it shipped to the US. At least make sure they don't charge you VAT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimpy Report post Posted July 6, 2019 Huge savings over the factory units, if they work out as a replacement. The Murci world will thank you forever if you pull it off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my car, the front lift was raising then coming immediately down with front lift light flashing. This was a MIN switch failure.

V12noise Report post Posted July 7, 2019 Can anyone say exactly what the spec needs to be to mimic the Lambo switches, e.g. normally closed at 0 psi and opens at 1200psi, or normally open at 0psi and closes at 100psi, etc for the Min and the Max switches? I dont have a clear picture in my head of which switches are needed... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted July 10, 2019 Does anyone make a Chilton style manual for the Lamborghini's? I remember using those for domestics when I was younger, but never thought to ask or look if they make them for the Italians.

chucklehead Report post Posted July 17, 2019 For the MIN switch, normally open. Close when it gets more than 250 psi. Don’t know exact number. Figure that’s why front lift light blinks when you hit a bump. MAX switch, normally closed. Opens when above 1400 psi, so it knows when it is fully raised.
