Nitrous Install Almost done but...

[mrtomcat]

Allright, here's where I'm at.

under the hood - done

bottle heater - done

Wiring - done (except see below)

TPS - done

"Click Testing" - Done

Mallory - decided to get the Horn Relay Switch couldn't find it locally so had to order it, hopefully will be here tomorrow or Monday

here's my two only problems:
1) the remote opener: I hooked it into the same slice as the rest (cigarrette lighter) but when I click the button there's not enough power to run it. When I try my external test battery it works...
Any suggestions on where I should slice in the remote opener?

I'm also starting to think that the remote opener is not too good an idea because you never know if it's open or closed all the way and refilling the bottle with it on ain't too pretty so I might get rid of that one....feedback is appreciated.

2) I bought the NX Universal Controller Switches and I'm not sure I like them:
The arm switch turns itself on when I start the engine (which caused some flooding last night because I hadn't hooked up the tps yet...) It also seems to reverse itself when I turn the engine off, example:
Middle = off
Bottom on = Heater On (also, based on this it looks like the heater is off when the system gets armed which makes no sense)
Top On = System Armed

Engine on - Bottom Off: Armed light comes on (why)
Top On then Top off system is off and working....

Engine off - Middle = Heater Bottom is off

as you can see this is very confusing.
When I had the remote button wired the remote button would suddenly arm the system....

Everyone had any experience on this?

I'm probably going to replace these with regular switches again, won't look as good but this is just odd and a bit scary.
I will call NX about this tomorrow as well.

Biggest concern which fuse to connect the Remote Opener Button to

Fellow remoters....please advise

The bottle opener doesn't get connected to a fuse. You need to either use a relay for it, or you need to directly connect it to the battery because it draws too much power.

I got rid of mine because the wiring was a pain, and I had to check the bottle pressure anyways in the trunk. Plus, not having a remote opener keeps me from spraying all the time.

makes sense.

any idea on the weird switch behaviour?

[Calsoldier]

Yes, I know exactly whats going on but it's kinda hard to explain. If you play with the wires, you'll know what I mean.

You have some wires that whenver you turn the car off, they ground (since you connected them to the cig lighter fuse). When you turn the car off, that fuse grounds instead of having power come from there. Therefore, all of your switches get switched around. Try a power source other than a fuse, and it will work.
