Theft light blinks on n off!
I just got finished reading one of the other posts and saw that his theft light blinks on/off occasionally. IS this normal after chip install? Or you think i may have bad connection also.

Hi 429,
Yes, that is generally a symptom of a connection-related problem. It is not "normal" after installing the Superchip, to answer your question, so if you're seeing abnormal anti-theft light behavior, check the connector for 100% removal of all conformal coating, using the techniques we describe in our Performance Products documentation in the troubleshooting section. Also, check to make sure that no conformal coating has transferred over into the slot or "fingers" inside the slot on the back of the Superchip, as if the Superchip is installed without 100% of that conformal coating having been removed from the connector, that coating can transfer over into the slot on the Superchip.
