Default HSW Problems

I'm going to email or call them tomorrow but heres the scoop.

+ After I got my nitrous installed we tested it and all the lights on my BMN window switch worked perfect. Next day, no lights. Window switch is broken. Never actually got to spray with it. Figured what the hell, I'll just run the by toggle till I send the window back.

+Big problem tonight. Went to open the bottle tonight and my bottle heater pressure switch busted a leak and sprayed nitrous all over the back of my cab carpet and all over the heater wiring.

Two broken parts on this kit. What the ****!!!! Anyone else have probs with their kit?

By the way. don't touch frozen nitrous, that sht burns!! couldn't feel my finger for 5mins

Which window switch do you have? Did you double check your wiring to make sure nothing came loose?

How did the pressure switch start leaking? Did the nipple break? Did you use teflon paste on it?

We gave window switch power and it gave us no lights.It worked one day and not the next. Nothing was changed in between. I wouldn't even give a power light. The pressure valve thing blew the nipple and adjustment screw some where in the truck. couldn't find it and didn't want to touch the parts after almost freezing my finger off.


BTW it's a BMN window switch

The switch leaked between the two electrical connections where the adjustment screw is at. I'll try to trouble shoot it tomorrow if I can find the stupid screw.

Yeah I lost a pressure switch after maybe 2 weeks. Turned the bottle on and got a handfull of cold gas out the end of the switch. They replaced it after I packed up the defective one and sent it back.

I've never had a problem with their stuff. Have you gone through and checked the ground on the window switch?
