Cyclops quit working!

I found out by surprise that my Cyclops was no longer working, the truck starts right up without using the fob button just like a normal relay. If you have a Cyclops you might want to check it. I can't complain it lasted 9 years.

Mine quit several years ago. Like you, found out by accident. Forgot to hit the key fob and it started anyway. I emailed him and he sent me a replacement. This was years after the first purchase. Don't know if they still do that, but I have nothing bad to say about them at all. Top notch product and service in my experience.

Thanks I emailed him asking what to do. I really don't want anything for free, I can't expect that after 9 years and I will pay for a new one.

You got about 9x the life before my first fob went out. They replaced it but I sold it as I'm not interested in something that finicky. Went to a hidden single pole switch that interrupts the IDM ground and it's been 100% reliable as well as more convenient to use.
