so i found lots of "edic working weird" posts but no "not working posts". So hoping for some sage insight.
mine was working fine till i changed the oil today. i got some o rings for the centrifugal oil filter and cleaned it for the for the first time today. haha it was so full of soot i thought that the soot was a rubber part lol. anyways. the edic arm had to get disconnected to get it out. never disconnected it before but read lots of instructions that involve its removal so figured it was simple. the easiest disconnect seemed to be the little screw that holds it to a brass pin at the forward end of the assembly. pulled it off and when moving it out of the way i touched it to the battery terminals for a nice spark oops. finished and put it back on. BTW is the brass pin it attaches to supposed to be able to be pushed inside what its coming out of? I had to pry open the receiving part of the arm so that there was zero pressure on the pin when sliding it back on as the pin would sink into where its protruding from? that normal? anyways, got it back on, started the engine. but then it wouldnt shut off.
The car has a modded ignition with manual glow and push start and I push a button ot activate the edic then start, and i depress the edic button to shut it off. now it does nothing. checked fuses, all good, checked ground, good. is it possible that i fried something when i touched the arm to the battery? also is it bad to stall the motor to stop it till i figure out the problem? wish i just had a cable on this. **** electronic s***.
