Default Magna-Volt died

Started the truck this morning and it ran for a half a secound and died, and would not start after that.

After 1 hour of troubleshooting I found that the Magna-Volt had VDC going in,
Fuel pump signal going in, but no VDC going out to the fuel pump.

The magna-Volt has only been in use in the truck for 4 months.

I jumpered around the Magna-Volt and the truck now runs but I will have to stay out of boost for now.

Called Magnason and they said they would call me back, hopefuly to say a new one is on the way.

I'm going to request a failure report if they can figure out what failed and why,
I'll post that up when I get it.

Has anybody else had a Magna-Volt fail on them, I'm going to buld a switch
to bypass the unit so if it fails again I can just flip a switch and be running again.

As you would guess, Magnason customer service is the greatest.

They called and said they are sending me a Warranty exchange unit tomorrow
and its the upgraded polished one.
