Default window switch question

if i take the pills out of the window switch then the nitrous should activate at wide open throttle regaurdless of RPM shouldnt it, i ask because i went out today and tried to use my new wet kit but i couldnt tell much of a difference if any on a 75 shot, and my exhaust is to loud to hear anything in the engine compartment. maybe i should just take apart my intake and rev it and see if anything is happening, would be much easier to figure out if all my friends werent on leave.

I am worried that my window switch might need to be sent in for that 35 dollar change or whatever. i am in 4 cyl. mode as directed by 90 percent of the people on this forum. i am just a little PO'd so if you could help me i would greatly appreciate it.

not sure if you'd really feel much from a 75 shot, but I couldn't be certain, I've never ran anything under 150. not sure if taking out the pills would work or not, you could try it and with the ignition on (doesn't need to be running), go click your WOT switch and listen for your solenoids to click. if they click it's working, if not, you most likely have a wiring problem somewhere. my $0.02

The chips work of off resistance. I believe it will not work with chip removed since there is no way to complete a conection.

There it is. You could throw a toggle switch in there to disable your window switch (I had to do that to troubleshoot something).

The toggle switch or what you said about the window switch? I put a toggle switch in to bypass my window switch to troubleshoot a noid issue, turned out I had an issue with my FPSS.

your FPSS might be set too high, back it down a bit and see what happens.
