charging issues

still running great after 7 months, charging the way it should and everything working normal.

i recently had a problem develop. i would turn the key and it would not fire until the key was on its way back to the start position. i would crank it a few times , then it would start. it gradually got worse until it would not start at all. i pulled the ECU box off, stuck a new one on there, it fired and ran immediately. then a couple days later, it happened again. im thinking WTH? i pulled the ECU off, took a flap disc to the box mounting tabs and the fender apron where the ECU mounts and sanded all the surfaces to bare metal. i re-mounted the box, it has been working flawlessly for 2 weeks now.

I cleaned the paint off the E.C.U. and its mounting ares on the inner fender and used nuts and bolts to mount it, so I could snug it down "gutentight". But before mounting the box, I spread some ordinary wheel bearing grease on the bare metal, THEN tightened the stainless bolt, lock washer and nut as tight as an 8" ratchet could make them. Cleaned up the squeezed out grease so it would look pretty, and don't expect grounding issues with my E.C.U. for a loooong time!

GOTTA have good grounds!
