Hi Guys,

I have a CliP device I got from eBay and it works okay but only temporarily. I hear a click from the relay and then suddenly it says it lost connection with the car.

I monitored the voltage on the relay power pins. When the relay has power applied (4.75V) the connection to the car is broken. When the relay is pulled to ground it closes and the connection to the car is established. So when I get the error the relay goes from 0V to 4.75V and I have this error.

Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this? I don't think the relays are at fault. I guess maybe one of the little transistors near the relays, one of which I presume will pull it to ground. Or maybe a regulator somewhere which will feed the little transistor and close its connection to ground.
