A while back I sold one of those ABIAs from the Barndoor Fan Club Store to a fellow in Maryland. After he got it installed it didn’t work, so I told him about the secret trick of swapping the in and out wires, sometimes it helps. For him it didn’t. So I sent him another one and $5 to have him mail me the defective one as the guy making them likes to test the failures. We he got the second one and installed it, it only flashes twice (not the advertised 5) before going steady. He has swapped the wires and he has more than 11 volts so I can’t figure out what the problem is. The odds of two of these things being bad is nearly astronomical as they are tested before shipping.
I spent about an hour in the garage this evening trying out several different units on my car. I’ve got one that worked good that I think I’ll just mail it to him. If this one doesn’t work I’ll just refund his money, he hasn’t asked for it, but I’ll feel better about it.
