Help with install!

So I got a progressive kit from a TD.com forum member and the unit was supposedly working when he removed it from his car. I got it all wire up just to check everything out, I just ordered some quik fittings, new pump top w/female ends and some tubing from here 2 days ago. When I turn the key "on" the only light I get from the controller is the power light, no blinking "full" light to show status. Controller would not activate the pump during test runs and no lights showed other than the power light. Verified that my green wire is going to my map signal wire with a voltmeter. Key on/car off shows 1.58v, Key to accesory/car off shows .05v, car idling shows about .58v. I also verified these voltages at the map sensor to be sure and they are the same. My car is a 91 Dodge Spirit R/T with a 3bar map and computer. Kit came off of same kind of car. Any ideas? Did I get a bad controller? I thought the yellow light would blink if something was wrong with the controller? Will I need to buy a new controller or can this one be sent in a tested first? Thanks

It depends on what controller you have, If it looks like our current units then it should blink 3 times on power-up unless the guy fried it or something.

On quick way to check the controller to see if it activates is take the grey wire and touch it to the green wire then the system should spray on full.

Thanks for the fast support!

My unit is older, it has the knobs on the top and lights on the bottom(opposite of current). Will it still blink the status or is that a new feature? I will apply the 5v and see what happens.

Question......does it matter where you get the 12v power from? I mean, I just spliced into a small line that already runs my WB02 and cut-out, how much current does this thing need to operate the pump effectively? How did you wire yours? I'm thinking of running a seperate wire from the battery to a switch so it has it's own supply. Are there any benefits to the new controller?

Thanks

That sound like the older unit that was not programable, You should just make sure you have a good solid 12 source as the pump can draw up to 10 amps.

The controllers will pretty much function the same.
