Default May have a bad window switch(UPDATED)...

MSD (pill). I started testing the system today and the window switch does not work. The solenoids engage when I hold down the WOT switch at any RPM. I double checked my wiring (Former Electronics tech, so I not completely stupid ) - wiring is good.

Has anyone gotten a bad window switch before?
I'm using a FPSS, WOT Switch, Window Switch and relay. Wired exactly as it is in the directions (NX MAF Plate system).

Any ideas of past experience from you guys would be great - thanks!




UPDATE:
Apparently, my uninsulated (dumb me) jumper for the FPSS was touching a braided line or one of the manifolds, or something that was metal and in contact with the solenoids, causing a short that activated the solenoids when the WOT switch was closed. So it’s all good now. Just need N2O, Plugs and a tune. Won’t be long now!

Did you cut the loops to put it into 4cyl coil per plug mode? Also, they all come set up for a 12V tach feed but the LS1s are a 5V system. Most people don't have an issue but some people have had to send their switches into MSD to have it set up for the 5V system in order to get them to work right.

That's odd. I'd give them a call and see if they have any ideas. More than likley they will want you to send it back in which would suck. I asume that you tried acouple of different pills in the ON slot?
