Question defective profec?

Well i hooked it up the the cigerette lighter and i made sure it had a good 12v it had 12.33v so the power was fine and i hooked up all the vaccum cables under the hood and wires and then i plugged it in and NOTHING it won't even turn on and i also tryed connecting it directly to the car battery and still nothing is it just defective?

EDIT: oh yeah and its a profec B and my car is a 94 rx7 touring

make sure your ground is good.Otherwise the unit will not turn on.If that doesnt work send it back and buy one from somewhere else.

I yanked my Profec B and a Rebic IV. I feel Greddy stuff is all POS. And they don't give a rat's ***, either. But maybe electrical issues are affecting your situation. Good luck.

Make sure it isn't the lighter illumination "minus" that actually connects to the dimmer.

Profec B - crapped out

I had a Profec B that just died without any apparent reason. I had power into the unit, but none coming out. I got a second opinion from a certified mechanic, he figures the board cooked. They unit was about 2 years old, they do die!

Did you check if the ground is OK ? Can you get voltage reading between the ground and the power wire ?
Did you turn on the profec ?
