Could you please re-word that question....in a more understandable way? I run an MSD 6AL and would like to help you, but your question is confusing.

If disconnecting the box clears the issue up, it would seem like you found the issue.

And thanks for the rewording. I also had no idea what you originally meant (there are many types of power).

Good luck.
