One. Are you SURE that the connection between the chip and the module is tight? MAKE DAMN SURE THAT YOUR KEYS ARE FAR AWAY when you do this.

It looked good to me. I did rub the silicon off good I thought. Will the truck even start it its not getting a good connection?

Truck could still start. It just might not get input from the F5. What I was wondering is if the wire between the F5 and the chip itself is good.

This is straright from DP's website. Q:I just installed my chip and the F5 switcher does not illuminate. What is going on?

A:Unplug the switcher.Turn it around and look at the line up of the cable notches. Verify that the cable is lined up correctly. The notch will be be down on the switch and up on the cable.
If that doesn't fix it. Post on DP's forum, they'll get in touch with you.
Good Luck

This is what I did with mine when I put it in, but my truck wouldn't start. Anyhow, glad you got it working.
