Weird Hi Idle Mod Problem

I got the hi idle mod hooked up, truck idle rose nicely when I hit the switch, came in real handy for flushing coolant, it worked abt. 5 times, pulled it out the garage, shut it off for abt. 2 hours, started it up and wouldn't work, checked the factory hi idle wire i hooked the hot lead to under the hood and it's getting power, but doesn't work, checked it when truck was cold again, no go, any ideas?

Make sure the E brake is on and you dont have your foot on the brake and before it will ingage the truck must be at a steady rpm.
