Interceptor doesn't work

So I bought an interceptor from a user on here, and it isn't working properly. Sometimes it takes anywhere from 15-45 minutes to display anything, and sometimes it just doesn't work at all. I saw there was a problem with some of the gauges and the 06 balts (whuddya know thats what I have), but was a solution ever found?

Since I bought it used I fear I'm stuck with a defective gauge

If anyone knows anything I would appreciate the help!!!

...Oh BTW everytime I try to email service@aeroforcetech.com it says the account doesn't exist.

The power source is fine, i have it spliced into the pink wire to the boost gauge and the boost gauge operates fine. The interceptor has to be getting power

Is the jumper still attatched? I know you have to take that off if you tap it to power.

What extra power wire? I'm using the red wire from the 3wire mini-connector. It works sometimes, it just takes forever to start up, wouldn't that indicate that its getting enough power?

Could you take a pic of how yours is wired. I'll take a vid of what it does on startup in a minute.

I bought one like this and ended up sending it back, it was where the small harness hooked into the back of the gauge, I got it working for a while by using a little electrical tape to hold it the way I needed. Since I got it through eBay I got my money back though. I have a three pillar with three interceptors all working good now though.
