I decided to update my edge today after something like a year of no updates and I wish I hadnt. I have the lightning software and just did the usual updates to lightning then to the edge, now its just blank?? you plug it into the truck and its just a blank green screen, and when you plug it into the computer it says it doesnt recognize the version?? In my searches real quick I found this fusion crap, did I get into that mess?? other than that idk, it was downloading something like V.24.28 i think...

 

I'd think downloading Fusion would be your best bet right now.

 

I could be wrong, Thumper, but I don't think he wants Fusion. He should call Bill (after 12:00 Noon Eastern time) to get squared away, but in the meantime:

Did you remember to turn the ignition key to ON before plugging in the Edge to the OBDII port? Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record here, but a blank screen is what you get if you don't do this I believe. Anyway, if that was the case, just go ahead and try it again, the right way this time.

I have never turned my ignition on BEFORE plugging in the Edge. Never had a problem.

 

I did once, and the manual clearly states to have it on. Some others have had the blank screen and having it on, fixed their problem.

 

call Bill

 

thanks guys, I called edge today and they think its gone bad or w/e. to be honest they werent much help, just want me to send it in. since its out of warranty they said i might end up just having to buy another... w/e...In the mean time ill send it in, but im thinking of getting custom tunes?? what do yall think of that as an option? also Ill be able to still drive the truk on the stock tune right? even with the new gears and chit?

hey thanks!! I take it you have been pleased with his work? about how long does it take to get the tunes and how much do they usually run $$ wise?

 

I'm very pleased with his work that's why I recommend him to everyone. If you need an Xcal2 as well, you can get it plus 3 tunes for $395. I think it's a damn good deal. Tunes are normally $50 a piece if you've already got a tuner.

 

does it require dyno testing after you get the tune or can you just go?? I dont really access to a dyno readily.

 

TP tunes are plug in and go, and go you go; been using them from the get go 2004, trouble free

 

No, you can data log them if you want but it's really not necessary. Justin's tunes are going to be dead on anyways.

No one cares.

 

Wrong thumpe, a lot of people care, especially those that are looking at all this tuning stuff a new. I’m not knocking any custom tuner; I’m saying my guy did me right and has the stuff IMO; trouble free from the get go, 2004

 

Alright.
