Can/am Box problems....

[Fozzy510]

so maybe someone here can help me... so i have can/am box for a while now worked perfect... i drive the car pretty much every weekend. I went to start it today and nothing. So i saw when i turned the key on none of the lights on the can/am box lit up. So i checked my key power, got 12v, checked my line coming from the battery 12v, check the screw where u mount the wire to the chip and im only getting 5v with key off and 0v with key on and all the fuses are still good. i have not checked the relays yet but i hear one or two clicking when i turn the key over........ does anyone have any idea what it could be? i have not touch anything on the car in like 2 months. Like i said i just drove the car last weekend with no problems.. let me know. Thanks for the help guys.

I think the proplem is there.  bad solder joint on board or wire.

 

you could unplg the relays and maybe the 12volts come back but I never seen those blk box relays go bad

 

 

PM icehouse

i did pm icehouse on friday.. hasnt responded yet. the wire is bolted to the board, so how could it be a bad solder? i thought the wire i was using had a short somewhere so i have already replaced it and when i recall looking at the board nothing looked out of place or broken. maybe the wire eyelet isnt getting a good connection on the board?? also no leds are lighting up when i turn the key either.

maybe the board has a cracked trace.??? Inspect closely   soemtimes a cold solder joint will do this.

the +12 feed should go to the box/board and trace to there. if low voltage on otherside there is your drop and FIX.

 

I bet if you pull it out and just ohm ck the traces from the entry point(=12 side to the main points youll find the proplem.

 

If your  Key ON wire is sending 12volts then you know the key switch is working. then its on the board/Box its not telling the relays to energize.

 

Maybe the Quality has gone down.

I took a photo of the crew making them.To keep the cost down, I dont think they solder qualified.
