[QUOTE="nyuk98gt, post: 192755, member: 8810"] Bluesn95: If you used the blue Scotch-Lok that was included in the SpeedCal kit to tap into a 12V power source (e.g.--cigarette lighter wire) for the SpeedCal, I would check that Scotch-Lok connection first. It can be tricky to get a good connection using a Scotch-Lok (that's my experience anyway).
