DP Tuner Install, WONT START

[Charlie01]

Today I installed my DP tuner and followed the directions from the site step by step. After the install the truck would not start, nor did the switcher display anything. The directions said if it does not start to remove it and re-clean the terminals. So that's what I did but now I am worried too much copper is showing on the one side and I don't want to take anymore off the other side. I put it back together and tried again with no luck. So I took it back apart and left it out and the truck starts up fine so I didn't fry my PCM. Has anyone had this issue? If too much copper is showing is there anything I can do to help it make better contact? I tried to call them but I don't think anyone will be in untill Monday.

pull it back off and make sure your connections are clean.

P.S. My 0 position is the No Start setting but like I said the switch does not light up to see what position I'm in.

[Charlie01]

They're pretty darn clean, I'm worried about there being too much copper exposed.

take some laquor thinner or some fingfer nail polish remover, and wipe the terminals down REAL GOOD.

You need to make sure the copper is showing on both sides and the contacts are extremely clean. Just don't break through the copper contacts when cleaning. If it starts with no chip, and won't start with the chip, it's a contact issue unless the PCM code is wron on the chip.

maybe the line going from your switchers to the chip isnt connecting good.

Strictly Diesel, Diesel Vehicle Repair and Maintenance has a help line and the guy is usually on there if you want to give him a shout and ask

Ok I'll try to clean it again and give that guy a shout if I can't get it. What do you mean by "don't break through the copper contacts?" Sorry if I sound dumb.

Clean it good enough that the copper is showing really good but don't rub the contacts hard enough that you rub through them. Trust me, it's possible and easy to do.

Well stupid me had the wire upside down going into the switch. I have high idle, stock, 80hp econo, 120 race and 40hp tow. Will the idle change at all between the 80hp econo, 120 race and 40 hp tow tunes? It obviously changes between high idle, stock and 80 hp econo but not after, is that normal?
