dead hydra box
Took off yesterday for our annual six month cross country trip and before I was a block away from our house I noticed the hydra #5 position number (that I use alot) was only half lit. It was like most digital lights left in the sun starts to act up. Of course I had to start playing with it but in the end it didn't matter because it didn't move off of #5 which is my favorite towing tune. This morning, out of the sun, the little screen is blank. I can push the buttons and nothing happens. When I get time I'll check the connection on the PCM. Has this happened to any body else?

Well Brett, I did a search and only found one and its in the form of a gauge at Jelibuilt. My switch box is six years old and I probably just need a new one. I emailed Clay and I'm waiting for a reply. I just don't want to mess with the cord and knock it off my tow tune. I have a lot of mountain grades to get thru between Vegas and the Black Hills of SD. Once in the Black Hills I'll be there for two months so I'll have plenty of time then.

Mine came with a similar deal from Riffraff. Half the thing doesn’t light up except for on 3 and 4 never did since I bought it. 3 and 4 light up all the way but even when I start the thing and It’s supposed to flash PHP it only does half the lights

Clay just emailed me, said he didn't have one. IDK, maybe that gauge setup would be pretty cool.

That's pretty nice Aaron. I have a single gauge setup that I'm not using and I could put it up on the pillar column, easy to get too.

That was my thought. I would swap my 3 pod for a 4.
I like it because it looks like it belongs not just stuck there.

East Coast Diesel sells the standard hydra switch by itself.
EDIT:
Nevermind. I just checked...I must have bought the last ones they had two months ago.
