Warning for all EWP users....
I had this posted up over in F/I but I know alot of people use an EWP...
Well mine decided to crap out on my on the way home from Ocean City MD. Luckly I made it home.
Guys with EWP know how loud they are when in good working condition. This is what it sounds like when they are ready to tap out on ya....
key on, with me plugging and unplugging the power source
oh yeah... first EWP lasted me about 1000 miles, Meizere fixed it up for nothing since it was still under warranty. This one made it about 15k, with some really long road trips (2 trips to Nashville TN, 2 trips to Bowling Green, 6-7 trips to Ocean City MD, on top of my weekend running around)

How is it wired? Direct off a relay/battery?
Just asking because when they first came out I was worried about short life.We bought a few of them and never had a problem.2 cars have over 60k miles on them.Thought for sure they wouldn't last but they proved me wrong.No failures here yet
