Truck Doesn't Shut Off with iQuad. iQuad Failure??

[TheGreatWhite]

Where to even begin.... I've had my iQuad Adrenaline for only 2 months now and I'm fed up with it. This whole ordeal started at installation of the ignition wire. The little hook thing that you're suppose to hook onto the prong of the #9 fuse never worked for me, still doesn't, it doesn't allow the fuse to properly be seated into its spot and easily falls out. So from there I did the best I could and I placed it between the prongs since it fits pretty well between them and it worked and allowed the fuse to sit in its spot nicely. Fast forward to a week ago, driving home, feels like I was working against something since it was a windy day cause it was like big gusts of wind were hitting me and the truck was falling on its face kinda (what it actually was here in a second). Never did it do this again.... until today..... Driving home, does it again except for a longer period of time, about 10 minutes where as before 10 seconds. Hop on the app, "Can't connect to Adrenaline" so I refresh the app and it works, then it starts doing its thing feeling like its shutting the fueling off because the box had actually shut off and it completely disconnects me from the app saying "Lost connection to app." So I run home and start diagnosing the problem, all the power wires are tight, even a guy at Quadzilla told me to check them first, so I do. Everything checks out, when I plug it all back in, dash lights up, airdog kicks on without the keys turned to "on". So i turned the truck on to try and reset the dash thing and go to turn it off and it doesn't turn off, not even if I hit the gas to turn off the turbo cooldown. Pulled #9 fuse, truck shuts off, all is good. Go to plug it back in, same thing. I'm about sick and tired of this, given hardware that doesn't work with a $700 tuner and that hardware could be the cause of the potential box failure, this is ridiculous. Any suggestions are needed badly. I thought about using an add-a-fuse in place of the little fuse "hook" but with a fuse adder in #8 it won't fit (might try flipping it upside down) but wasn't sure if the Turbo Cooldown would still work or not. I need some help ASAP, very disappointed so far with this after only 2 months......

I installed once of these rather than the provided fuse holder.    

 

 

 

that gave me a good connection.

 

 

I am really not sure what the reprocussions of jumping the fuse might have been.

Will the turbo cooldown still work?

[Me78569]

yes, it is the same thing electrically speaking but just a better design.

 

 

however I am worried that something got cooked by putting the fuse tap between the blades of hte fuse.  This would remove the fused link and could cause issues if there was a short or an overcharge situtation.

Everything was working fine (in a relative sense) until I pulled the fuse out, then it just didn't want to cooperate anymore so beats me..... Just lost rn on what to do.... I'll try to use the adder and see what happens.

everything works fine until something happens to challenge the system which results in issues.  


My guess, kinda out of left field, knowing what you had setup is that the fuse tap came loose somehow and shorted to the metal in the subdash that surrounds the fuse panel resulting in the issues.

Well I just got off the phone with Marco at Quadzilla and he said the board is fried and to send it in for warranty work. So I'm going to do that

[Me78569]

I would guess that is true.  a short in that line would cause all sorts of issues.   

 

Given that hte tap was between the prongs in the mini blade fuse then the ground from either end of any of the wires in that curcuit would cause this issue.

Live and you learn I guess, they'll replace it so no harm no foul, I know never to do that again...

I used the tap that @Me78569 mentioned.  I actually bought a whole bag of them on Amazon.  Greatest thing since sliced bread!

I ran to oriellys and got some last night cause I agree, they're extremely handy!

Got a link to the Amazon ones Please?   I wouldn't know what to call them.

 

Thanks

Here you go.

Mine blade fuse tap or extender should get you there.
