So I had to throw in one of these devil boxes the other day, haven't driven my car since I put it in and guess what?!

Cars dead..... No power is going anywhere, tried to jump it, absolutely nothing. disconnected the battery for a while, tried again, nothing. Tried to check fuses, couldn't find any that were out. I'm baffled right now. I have a brand new battery in this thing, literally put it in under a month ago, and it's just dead as a doorknob.

Only thing I could potentially see causing this, I have an accessport tuner in the car that has a plug in the OBD2 slot all the time, I un plugged it in order to put in the drivewise thing. I don't see why this would do anything, hell the cord isn't attached to anything 99% of the time, but it's the only thing I can think of. Needless to say I am not happy in the least bit.

I'll check. I'm guessing main relay box?

If you have to use Allstate because your folks chose the plan, you could try showing them this report detailing why Allstate is the worst insurance company .

It might change their minds.

I left mine in my truck for 2 months while I was away, and it drained the battery. Put your batter on a charger, preferably one that can go up to 15 volts.

Theres no way in hell it could be the battery. It's a brand new battery and it only sat for two days. On top of that I can't get any sort of light what so ever, can't even get a signal off the OBD 2 port. It's gotta be the main relay, gonna pull it tomorrow and see.
