Max Power 08-11-2006, 11:04 AM Not likely related. Put an ammeter on the battery line and see if the amperage increases with the dsp2 switch on. Trippin 08-11-2006, 11:50 AM That is a new one. Unless he installed the wire into the wrong pin assignment. Did he leave EFILive plugged into the truck all night? turbo lcc 08-11-2006, 12:14 PM no.. he only installed the pin and the switch. I will have him double check the pin he put it in. CntrlCalDmax 08-11-2006, 03:29 PM That is a new one. Unless he installed the wire into the wrong pin assignment. Did he leave EFILive plugged into the truck all night? I left EFI plugged in for two days and it drained both batteries to less than 6 volts. I was suprised that it would draw that much current plugged in by itself (no computer). hdmax 08-11-2006, 07:09 PM It may be related in the sense that he needs new batteries, and playing around with the programming was enough to kill them. I know! I need batteries also. I have a buddy just put the DSP2 switch in his 02 Duramax lastnight and this morning his battery was dead???? Any ideas? Kappa9012 08-11-2006, 08:42 PM SAME HERE, had two dead batteries this morning because I was playin to much last night! easymon4u 08-11-2006, 09:12 PM I can leave the laptop on and the cable plugged in the the obdII 24/7 and not have an issue, but leaving the inverter on is a different story. If its less than 8 hrs it will start. 10 or more is a maybe. Lucky I have a 200 amp charger that gets her going in about 5 min. Flashscan 08-12-2006, 05:26 AM I have an EFILive adaptor in my LS1 car all the time, it gets driven maybe 3 times a week tops, I've never had a flat battery. The actual current draw of the EFILive adaptor is so small it would take months to drain a battery (esp the BIG ones in Diesel trucks). Maybe he ran a light off the battery whilst wiring it, left the radio going for a few hours up loud whilst installing it? Cheers, Ross hdmax 08-12-2006, 07:38 AM Even tho we have two batteries in the Duramax, The truck will not start once the voltage drops below about 10.5-11 volts. (It takes alot to start a diesel!) And these batteries are only good for about 4-6 year reguardless how much/little you drive them.
