Default nitrous just stopped working

The other night I went out to do some runs with my friends and when it came down to using the bottle, my nitrous wouldnt work. Few weeks ago, it worked flawlessly. The car has been sitting outside in cold/wet weather alot in the last few weeks. I checked all the wiring and everything...nothing came lose or anything. I am using the Microedge controller as well. I replaced the Relay, still nothing. Checked all fuses, double checked my controller settings...nothing. I did a quick solonoid check by hooking them up to the battery for 1 second to hear them open, and they opened. Does anyone have any idea's??

I currently have my controller set for testing of the solonoids but they dont work. Early spring I couldnt get my controller to do the testing of the solonoids either but when I was driving they worked.

I am really clueless as to why all of a sudden it just stopped working.

Never mind you said fuse.

Does the MicroEdge power up?

yup. Microedge works flawlessly. The only things I changed the day it didnt work was I set it to spray starting 3rd gear instead of 2nd.

Might be a window issue, if you have the first version of the microedge you can't test with it. I bet it might be setting that you might of looked over

It should say "Spray" or "Spraying" if it was meeting all of the conditions you have set in the controller. It's a controller issue. Probably a setting.
Is it a Microedge +?

I'm not too sure what it says when it's actually spraying. It does say trigger though regardless of armed or not.

When checking or actually spraying the car the microedge will say *spray* when all the parameters are met. I would say its a setting in the controller if you are sure the electrical is fine. Check the setting for the wot voltage.

I did change files but all my files are setup nearly the same.

How do I set it back to the defaults? I will just reset the thing and re-do it.

Press the "menu" and "up arrow" while you power up the microedge or when you turn on the ignition.
