double check your connections one more time and me sure you get good ground and power, i have mine connected to the battery, you'll know it's on when you see the red light go on. if i remember correctly i read in the intructions that if there's a problem within the amp that the light suppose blink.

connects are good man..no newbies here..we solder everything...ok i'll tell you how its connected...heavy red goes directly to the battery, smaller red goes to the ecu 12v that would be going to the coil(center wire black w/ red stripe), trigger one and two go into my dual tach adapter(green and white) the wires coming from the adapter go the the dis 2 harness (out from adapter is brown w/ green and white stripes and hook into the green and white in the dis2) black is grounded in both instances, i have both red wires(dis 2 small red and tach adapter red) hooked up the the switched from the ecu to coil..i know this diagram by heart b/c i've done it twice now..everything is hooked up right...i don't know whats wrong, when we try to start the car the thing made a spark where the wires go into the dis2...i toiuched the dis 2 and got shocked pretty good ..theres got to be a short in it..i called msd today and they said anywhere from 15-55 to fix it plus shipping there and back...blows hardcore..for the price i paid for this i coiudl have just bought a new one..should have bought a new one...if anyone can come up w/ a reciept i would appreciate it so i can get this thing fixed..i want to run some more boost..help me out guys..thanks..

why dont you buy another one from MSD, and return your old one and get your money back and keep the new one? scummy thing to do... but do what u gota do.
