No. Try start the car. you might need to check if you bent any pins or if the connectors are in the right slots.

Dom the Bomb · 03-25-2010, 06:28 PM

oh maybe u installed it right this time but since u didnt install it correctly the other times it prob gave it s SES light. turn your car on and off and drive it a lot the light should come off, if it doesnt u should reinstall it again and read the intructions

what do you mean messed up? hmmm, I would PM Mike and be specific about what happen he might be able to help you out, good luck!

zackday30 · 03-25-2010, 06:43 PM

I've read about this before...apparently if you drive the car for a bit, the SES light will go off...I would try that first, then maybe think about a BT Tool. Good Luck!

Follow the troubleshooting guide at the bottom of the install PDF. If you can't figure it out email me some photos of the install and I'll help you determine what is wrong.

ROFL!!! Enjoy the JB3, it is a fantastic tune. Would suggest a BT scan tool though. You always run the risk of triggering a code.
