Default Error eliminators

Another $.02.....Maybe the EE's are flipping the polarity? Can you easily remove them and test the system?

Do you know what electronics are on board? Just wondering?

No to hijack your post but...

I have been running my DDM Tuning kit for about 3 to 4 months now with no problems and just this after noon on my way back from lunch I noticed I have no lights now. I waited about 30 min and tried it again and nothing. I run error eliminators, my fuse is good and I can hear the relay clicking when I change from low beams to high beams so it seems as like my ballast are not getting power from the BiXenon controller or the BiXenon controller is not getting power from the battery. I'll start with checking my connections on the battery then out of the controller any other suggestions??

What is this "PPE" that you speak of? Personal Propulsion Engine?

Called tech support they didn't question anything and said they would send me a new control module out and he was pretty sure that should fix the problem. Should be here in 2-5 days....

Update:

I troubleshot the problem down to a bad control module and called DDM last Monday. They sent me out a new module, and I installed it today. It seems to work fine, so I am hoping that the issue is solved.
