Boycott vacuum go electric!!!
I hate vacuum leaks, with a passion. I've started wondering just what it would take to convert most of the vacuum actuators over to electic.
vacuum pump brake booster transmission modulator door locks shut off valve HVAC seat back locks reservoir Can't reasonably get rid of the brake booster, so we need to keep the vacuum pump too. The tranmission modulator turns throttle position into a pull. Sounds like you'd need a rheostat, controller and position sensitive motor. Little involved, so probably keep it vacuum. Door locks - can you say solenoid? Add one switch in place of the master vacuum switch and your set. Shut off valve - solenoid. HVAC - lotsa solenoids. 5 micro switches. seat back locks - 2 solenoids. reservoir - who needs it? Anyone made an attempt at this yet?
