My SCT tuner has killed my Mustang.
I was in the middle of flashing from 86-93 octane tunes and poof....
SCT screen went blank and car is DOA.... Now SCT Tuner wont boot.

I promise it is not my batter nor low voltage. I have checked both those...
Radio still works, power equipment is still powered and battery is fully charged.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

fuses? I read on mustangforums about an issue similar to this and it was 1 or 2 blown fuses.

 

Check the obvious things like fuses then contact who sold you your tuner asap. Sorry, that's all I got for you now.

 

WOW!
I figured it out...
Had to hardware hack my SCT tuner...
Yes a fues was blown as well.
Basically my SCT tuner shorted out, the short caused a fuse to blow.

Dynopseed is overnighting my an Xcal 3 free of charge. Joe@dynospeed.com IS THE BEST. But I wonder what'll happen to the warranty since I had to open the XCAL2 up to get it to work. I hope they realize that their product litterally left me stranded.

Peace!

 

You'd be better off writing them an email or calling their customer serivce department--"hoping" isn't going to change anything.

 

I had the same thing happen to me once. Scared the HELL out of me, but turned out to be a fuse like yours

 

I had the EXACT same thing happen this Saturday. I called Jay at JLT who then said to call SCT. I got a return authorization number from SCT and they are going to either fix it or replace it. I would try to plug it back in but I do not want the thing to short out in the middle of a download or an upload. Just like Cavero it scared the HELL out of me.

 

So the SCT died in the middle of downloading the tune and the car still started? wow...

 

No, with me it the SCT died about 1 second after plugging it in. I did not have a chance to do anything. The SCT died and the gauge cluster died.

 

Just last week it happened about 60% through downloading the tune. After I replaced the fuse, I had to reinstall the tune for the car to start
