Wait Light Issues with Legacy Card

[tgtaylor64]

Having gotten no response from CUCVElectric, I wanted to ask the forum if any of you have experienced this happening.

I have tried two legacy cards on two different M1009s. All the LEDs on the card work and my WAIT light comes on for just a few seconds (engine cold). Using a voltmeter, the card appears to be working but my WAIT light is going off prematurely. According to the design, the green LED is on when the truck is on showing 12V to the card. The amber LED is on when the WAIT light is to be on. The red LED is on when the GPs are getting power (during the WAIT and after-glow cycles).

If I wait until the amber LED goes off, the truck starts right up. Why is my WAIT light not staying on for the same amount of time as the amber LED does?

Did you purchase this card from CE?

The reason I ask is that the Legacy card doesn't have LEDs.

Oh yeah...

I stand corrected. These were not purchased from CE! They were purchased from AC.

I have a factory card, a CUCV Electric card and the Antenna Climber card and the AC card does do things a bit different than the others, but they all do work. In my truck at least.

Can you describe the differences? How do they each work. I have the GPD-2A card from AT.

Not that it has anything to do with these cards but I largely ignore my light and listen for the relay to kick out before starting.

The factory card and the CE card end with that buzzing sound/relay. This is also when the volt gauge kicks up in to the green at full charge. The AC card does not have the truck make that sound. But like I said they both ran the vehicle fine. I bought them all to have spare parts because you never know when this stuff if going to disappear.
