Re: My 3rd NX TPS switch just went south. (intel55)
I just want to report back that I got the mechanicle WOT switch hooked up and it is working great (went through 2 bottles so far). :cheers:
Now who wants to buy my TPS switch after NX fixes it? :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: :lol: :jester

One thing to make sure is that you have minimal current draw through the TPS switch. Use a multimeter to measure the current. They are usually rated at .5amp max. To be safe .3amp should be the max you want to see. If you are triggering anything more than 2 relays, then you may be going over the limit. Don't use the TPS swith to trigger any electrical device directly. There will most likely be too much current draw.

Hi Mike,
I only used the TPS switch to power on/off the relay, which in turn powers on/off my MSD RPS Window Switch. And then window switch signals another relay to power on/off my solenoids.

Is the switch used to send power to the relay? Can it be setup to ground the relay instead? I know harlan recomends his switches only be used to ground a circuit

Re: My 3rd NX TPS switch just went south. (sacsrpc)
Interesting, i've had mine in sinse Feb not a single poblem. I'm wondering if you all are using the correct TPS switch. The correct switch should be part # 15961-M not 15961 ... there seems to be a difference. M= muliti sencing with some of the mods you guys have you might want to try it if your not already the 1 you need is not in the NX parts catalog... just a thought
