REDZ, the same thing happens with my car. my AC lights sometimes turn off and on for periods of times. give it about a week. and pay attention to it. in my car it's really wierd. i've witnessed them go on and then go off again after a while. at one point i was going to have them checked out but then they turned on again! :roll: i don't think the LED's are the problem. i bet when you least expect they will turn back on.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tibby01)</div><div class='quotemain'>was it one of the two activation leds on that switch(in other words, NOT the power light)?</div>
Yup. The one on the right went out. It was working fine, if you had it on recirc, the correct one would light, then if it was fresh air, the other would. Now only the Recirc one comes on.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>if you want to send it back to me ill fix it right up. before you do though, what exactly is the purpose of that second led? i dont have one on mine. does it just come on whenever the recirc switch is pushed, or does it have its own certain time that it comes on?</div>
There are 2 LEDs in that button, one on the left and right. The left comes on for RECIRC, the right comes on for fresh air. The one on the right stopped working.
What should I do?

And it worked normal for awhile.
Now that I think of it, that one would dim a bit when the bass would hit, but only that one LED.

thats weird. if you want to test it, get two aligator clips(or just wries will do, it will just be harder) and a 9v battery. wou will also need a 470ohm resistor.
connect a clip to each terminal on the battery. make sure you have the resitor somewhere, i would put it inbetween the wire connected to power, and the cathode of the led(positive lead) so, put the resistored wire on one lead, and the negative wire on the other. if it doesnt work, switch them. it wont hurt anything if you dont get the correct lead of the led the first time.

Don't worry I just gave him some work. Funny, I was going to reply to this today. Oh well. Tibby01 did you get my email and paypal payment??
I know you're having trouble getting on here but, thought I'd hit you up everyway I can.

i think my access to the site has been fixed.
no i didnt get the paypal payment, where did you send it? NOSPAMchris.weir@gmail.com is my paypal address.(remove nospam). you might want to cancel it if you have already sent it and send a new one.
and tibwrc, i still have PLENTY of other things going on to keep me busy. wink.gif

Sorry tibby01, guess I didn't confirm it or something. I think it was the "Send Money" button that I missed. It should be good now just let me know when the gauges will be arriving and I'll send you everything else.
Wow, in the past month ive probably gotten 15 emails or pms by people who want stuff done. Sorry guys, but right now I am extremely busy with school and work and I really cant take anymore orders. in a month or two hopefully things will straigten out and i can start up again. ill be sure to post.
thanks for all the interest though.
