Default Sounds good

Make sure you don't physically remove pins, just delete them in the program and put them back exactly like you had them.

Hey, like I said, I'm not a pro at this, just a thing that happened to me twice, once doing pmag work and once playing with something else I did.

Good luck Jason.

Ok - I may offically be an idiot.... I think it was working the whole time.
The LED on the P-Mag is recessed in the case, and somewhat difficult to see. In my well lit workshop, I have to lean waaaaay over the engine to see if the LED is lit. It very likely was lighting up the whole time.

I did deactivate the output via the VP-X software and reactivate it, but not really sure that it did anything.

Just running power to the P-Mag still does not show an amp draw(with the red light, with the LED on. I'm going to call the guys at E-Mag to make sure that this is correct. Again when testing the P-Mag plug with a mult-meter, everything switches correctly.

Thanks,
Jason
