Meth kit nightmare!
« on: July 24, 2012, 12:23:19 pm »
So I stayed home from work.....shhhhh! To wait for my meth kit from Ziggy
Had everything ready for the install....

Tank tap came with no screen and a small crack around the base! Not a huge problem I have some crazy ass glue! Fix that installed no leak all is good moved onto the pump install just enough line to run from trunk to engine I will buy more later when I add another nozzle!

Next controller  opened it outta the box, noticed a screw loose tried to tighten it and of course it's stripped! So I decide to pop it open see if every else is good :) and found this...


A little wire mix up, looks like a return to me! Contacted Ziggy no response contacted devils own they recommended swapping the wires and trying it out.

Did that hooked it up but nothing! :( one red light  that's it, tested pump it works but controller is pouched!


From what I can tell this is an old controller!

No meth for FVT :(

It may work fine... Could be the guy was colour blind and wired the board and plug incorrectly, so everything is in order.

I think I'd be more worried about the bare wire not being far from shorting on each other if the harness was twisted a bit.  I'd have kept the insulation a little closer to the board.

looks sketchy for sure.

Simple is often better.

a couple of switches, a filter, a solenoid, a pump, a check valve and a nozzle.  Oh and some line and fittings, along with a few feet of wire.  Oh and a relay.
