The guy that normally loads my truck fractured his ankle just over 2 weeks ago so I have been going in a little early. I go in and straighten out the mess that his replacement has been making.Striped5.0 said:
I just need more exercise to counteract all the calories that I take in. This crappy weather isn't helping. I was planning on taking my bicycle out of retirement and burn some calories on the weekend.
The controllers that I bought from Delta Current Control suck. I sent back the one that I was going to use on the water pump because the unit melted. He said that it was due to me reversing the polarity and leaving it that way for a extended period of time and that I switched it back to correct way and that caused even more damage. He had no response as to why the fusible link never blew before the unit short circuited. I told him mulitiple times that I didn't screw up the wiring and then switch it back later. Its a very simple wiring hook up.
As for the second controller that will be sent back tomorrow...Chris and I both went over the wiring and could find nothing wrong with the wiring. The unit wouldn't work. Now that I am asking for my money back the guy is starting to get a little insulting with some name calling. He insists that his failure rate is less than 1% and the only common denominator is me. He also insists that he has the best reputation in the business because of that failure rate.
Contacted my credit car company to dispute the charge because I can already tell this guy is going to get worse.
Any advise?

Tell him that an Aircraft Electrician (me) with 10 years experience on 30 Million dollar aircraft looked at your wiring job and said there was nothing wrong with it. Brand new stuff breaks or dosen't work right out of the box. I have seen it numerous times. It's hard to believe, but if everything is wired correctly, then the component is to blame.gaslight said:

if you want Bryan, I can take a ride down next weekend and do ANOTHER once over with you just to be sure.
Thanks Dan. I'm sending the damn thing back. Its a very simple wiring job. 1 positive input, 1 positive output and the 2 ground wires connect to the same post(not the same as the inputs). Then you have a yellow and blue wire. The yellow wire is hooked up to either a ignition or constant 12v source. The blue wire is used on the fan controller to connect to the AC system. When the AC comes on then the fan is supposed to run at at least 50%. 100% if its hot.
He has responded to a email I sent him earlier this evening. Saying that I wired it incorrectly and had a positive source to both the positive and negative terminals and called me 'Einstein'. Now that is some serious professional behavior. I responded to that in a professional way and not sinking down to his level.
His next response was to call me in a round about way, a Liar. That I can't keep my STORY straight. Since I can't keep the story straight as to what happen then it is my fault and I'm trying to cover it up.
As I mentioned his responses are going down hill but I still have not sunk to his level. I typed out the whole cenario again for him.
Glad I used a credit card. The credit card company is putting in a dispute and I will hear from them some time this week. At least I have prof that he received the first unit. He mentioned in his emails that he took apart the unit I sent back to him.
good night...will check in here tomorrow.

Sorry, but your pretty presumptuous to think you could have not made a mistake... You cold have done something wrong that you didn't know about...

stupid idle problem came back, so I cleaned the maf, the iac, and plugged a hole in the tube from the maf to the power pipe that was supposed to be for the iat. It was fine again for about 2 days, now it's back again. argh.

In one of the emails he told me that there was no way that I was right there looking at it when it began smoking.
Hmmm yes I was and I'm glad I was there because it could have started a fire.
He said I hooked it up incorrectly and that the water pump ran contiuously for a long period of time.
Hmmm the pump didn't run at all. I shut off the battery switch that day until I had a chance to ask him some questions about why it wouldn't run.
He also told me that because it was wired incorrectly and allowed to run contiuously that fried part of it then I had corrected the wiring and after a long period of time it overheated and melted the resin.
Yet again that isn't what happen. I was there I know when the power was turned on and for how long. I was the one who was there.
He is the one who is being presumtuous by telling me that my 'story' doesn't make sense and that his story(facts) does. WOW I didn't know he was standing right next to me taking notes in my garage. He should have grabbed the fire extinguisher or flipped the battery switch off.
If I can wire up some relays I think I can handle following those directions to hook up the controller. I think the relays are a little harder to do.

I wired it according to the directions. The only thing Chris said he would have done differently was wire the yellow to a ignition SWITCHED source. I wired it to a continuous 12v source. According to the directions you could wire it either way. The way I did it the fan would continue to run after I shut the ignition off until the radiatior was cool enough. This is just like some of the OEM setups out there where the fan runs for a little while after the engine is shut off. The yellow wire is a small gauge wire that is not a power feed for the fan. It just acts like a switch to turn the controller on or off. Its only one switch. The temp probe is another switch. The small gauge blue wire also acts as a switch when the AC is on.FEARNO1 said:
