Default Problems w/ NX TPS WOT switch?

Anybody have any trouble with theirs? I think I might have a bad one. I hooked it up and got it adjusted properly so that the light came on just before WOT. Everything seemed to be working fine until I went to test it the other day and my kit didn't work.

I got my test light out and ended up finding a bad connector for my battery-to-relay connection. Once I put this new connector on, the WOT switch stays on, even though it was adjusted properly before to only come on at WOT.

I checked the white wire right at the switch thinking it might be reading a higher voltage, thus triggering the switch. No dice....right at .5 v with the throttle closed.

The red wire from the activation switch had power, like it is supposed to with the key and the activation switch on.

The pink wire, which connects to the relay, has power too (which I suspected since the light on the switch was lit up)...even though it isn't supposed to until WOT.

I tried turning the adjustment screw too. No matter how much I turn it, the light will not go out. I figured as much since it was properly adjusted before all this started.

Any ideas? Anybody else have the same trouble? I think I'm gonna try using the microswitch I have this evening and ditch the TPS switch.

Im having the same problem with this POS! Brand new NX TPS switch all hooked up correctly. I got it calibrated and it was very simple. Then I went to test it on the road. I have it hooked in to the positive terminal of a relay and the negative terminal of the relay is activated by the msd window switch.

After one pull through a gear, i noticed it wasnt working....i went and checked the nx tsp switch and the light is on no matter how many turns. i think it must be fried but wtf? This is bs!
