Did people not advise you that the HDI one's are crap when you asked about them?

as Wallace said... they suck balls! shame you wasted your money.

just think if you had spent a little more in the very beginning you could have not had all these problems, hence the saying 'do it cheap, do it twice'

mate save and get a decent one. gizzmo do some very affordable ones and they work very well... or you can pick up a second hand blitz for pretty much nothing nowadays.

see if you can get your money back, then put it towards a good one.

Gizzmo you should have saved the extra and brought so easy to set up and its some good crack.

Most people that have used these boost controllers have ended upgetting rid of them as they just don't work.

Unfortunately as suggested you would be best getting rid of it for one that's known to work well.

for the HDI boost controller to work you need to get a consant feed of OVER 12 volts or it just won't power up atol.

Just need to check wires until you get the right power. As if it's just over 12v and you join another component in it will cause a resistance an you will get maybe high 11's which just isn't enough

Hope this helps
