Default Bah QTEC wont work...

Did all the wiring, installed the plate ect. We got 12 volts all the way from the switch in the car to the last connection to the valve. Its the connection where you have to connect and turn for them to seal. Anyone have this problem. The switch lights up red/green when you hit it to top or bottom.

I also tried to run the valve directly from the battery and had no luck with it opening there either.

Had a similar problem with mine. I traced power down the line, had power all the way to the last connection. I kept pushing/twisting the connector, and finally it began to work. It's been on the car for two weeks and works flawlessly.

Yeah, I considered replacing the QTEC connection w/ a GM style weatherpack connector. But, it began working and has been trouble free, so I'll just leave it alone unless it gives me problems again.
