dp tuner problem??
hey guys i just bought dp tuner from itp and i tried to install it today followed step by step instructions but i didn't clean the contacts as good bc i just had a ts chip in it last week....got it all hooked up and the wait to start light doesn't come on so i unhooked everything pulled the pcm and cleaned it a lil more reinstalled and dido same thing but what i don't get is the switch fob lights up and also the instructions say i have 1-3 settings ( what i ordered) and the 4-16 would be the same as 3 but when i turned the key on and it light up it only goes 1-2 no 3-16 so please somebody help me..... thanks.

Congrats on the DP. You're gonna love it. Not sure what to tell you about the WTS light. You may what to pull it one more time and when it's out, disconnect the batteries for a few minutes, turn on the headlights or something to make sure you drain the PCM. Then reinstall making sure chip is fully seated.
As far as the chip read out, mine only reads the files that are in there. Mine stops at 6 for now. Your right, I think my instructions said something about the remaining numbers being the same as the last,

This is where your problem is I bet. Too much copper showing is bad.
