which safety option are you trying to disable???

I used phongs write up to wire mine, but left both safety options on.

when you tested it..did you try moving forward/backward to engage the lock or were you stationary? hows your ground connection? i think blinking means its on/trying to engage. not blinking/solid on means locked/engaged...

only thing i can think of.....

did you remount the box? maybe it needs to be grounded. in the pic, you just have it hanging there.

i just unplugged the connector and left the box in there when i did it.

if you have some long wire, just run it to the battery to make sure it works or dosnt. other than that.....?

it still wont work in 4lo since you re-ground it?

Are you sure it worked before??

Check all your fuses...

So now its back to OEM wiring and still doesnt work?

Just re-read your last post, you need to trick the box not the locker....
