Is there some quality control problem with NX TPS switches?

It hasn't been 5 months and I have already gone through 3 different NX TPS switches. :mad :mad :mad The first two were within 5 weeks. And the 3rd one lasted for close to 4 months. Agggrrrrrrr. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> (And yes, all 3 of them were wired correctly as instructed by NX. I have double check a billiion times. And plus, it wouldn't have worked if it wasn't wired correctly).

I'm going send it back to NX and see what's going on. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

That ain't good. Where do you have it mounted?

Here is the link over @ Corvetteforum, many others are also having problem with these damn TPS switches.

go to radio shack and buy a momentary switch. i have it so the pedal hits it at wot and damn it works great w/no problems

 

Well I just got a new NX MAF kit and I have been working on the TPS switch for two weeks now and can't even get a light. I have checked the wires a thousand times and god forbid I try and talk to NX. All I get from them is, "you must have something wired wrong." Like they can't take responsibility for their parts. Is it too much to ask for everything in a kit to work?

Did you have the same person install each time? We have done over 30 TPS switches and have only had one give us trouble.

As I have mentioned before, it was working great for couple months so I know for sure all wires are connected correctly.

Black wire goes to ground, red goes to +12V, white goes to RPM signal from PCM, and pink goes to relay.

 

The white don't go to the RPM signal, it goes to the TPS signal at the throttle body or ECM.

I got mixed up my MSD RPM Windows Switch in the previous post. I do/did have the white wire going to the TPS signal on the throttle body.

Cheers.
