havehappened:
1) Verifythatyouhavea12-voltDContheRedaccessorywireofthe
ASWC-1,usingamultimeter.
2) ReconfirmthatyouhaveagoodgroundtothesolidBlackwireof
theASWC-1.
Attention: Due to the nature of how microprocessors function,
sometimes having the ASWC-1’s ground shared and using the
factory ground in the OE wiring harness is not sufficient; and will
cause problems. The use of a chassis ground solely by itself is highly
recommended, especially in data communication vehicles. Attach
the solid Black wire of the ASWC-1 to a good chassis ground, all
by itself. Ensure this wire is straight from the ASWC-1 without any
extensions, and make sure a ring terminal (not supplied) is used, and
crimped properly. This will alleviate any grounding issues that may
keep the ASWC-1 from programming; most cases of the ASWC-1 not
programming comes from the lack of this step being done.
