Default Zex nitrous not working???

Installed my used nitrous system tonight it was suppose to be in good working condition but im not sure. Ran all wires lights came on and it appeared to be working. Pressed the reset button and held my throttle still seemed to be working light was going from red to green to none. turned it off then back on pushed the throttle but the sylinoid wasn't clicking is there a way to fix this or am I screwed? Any help will be appreciated

thanks William

First, I know nothing of the ZEX nitrous kits. I have never used or installed one.
Don't they use the O2 sensors as a saftey device. Maybe the vehicle has to be running and running rich to activate the soleniod. Also check you grounds and wiring.

Default nitrous

the directions say to just have the key on and I should be able to hear the noids clicking. I ran a ground to the battery then a hot to the switch inside and to the batttery.
thanks William

that link is just the installation instructions. no that should be a good ground.from what i see. did you say it came on then went out? if so did it blow a fuse?. is it a wet system. did you go through the learn system correctly?

yes the blue wire is correct. it should read about 4.40 to 4.50 volts at wot. i would make sure that connection is good to.if you have a way to put at least 6 volts and no more to that wire i would try that to see. as long as the all the connections are good it should work.
