Here is a direct copy and paste for the instructions that are supposed to be in the boxes. Obviously I skipped some because I just want to clarify the red wire and the red with white wire.

You have to start the truck or the display is not going to do anything.

I tried red wire #42....red/ white #28...had power, but didn't work correctly (read a few parameters and that was it, couldn't do anything else...no cel) Pulled it off again.
That should work, the harness is just not designed for that.

When you say it read parameters but, did not work. What did it read, or what did it not read and what did not work?

Ok, this is the best I can do for now, at this hour on this laptop!

This should get you to the right instructions. It is also a full set. This is just not in the booklet we send out but, should work perfect for what you guys are doing.

If you are just getting a blank display something is not right. Check your ground really good and make sure both your power wires are connected good. Also make certain the wire you are hooked to (dark blue) is 12v keyed power.

I would not think the odds of getting a bad one at this point are good. The first 250 were hand tested individually with their own wiring harness to prevent any possible failures going out the door. Everything should be fine if we get it all connected properly.

Tried to scroll through and read other parameters other than the four shown right away. Will try again tonight.

The red wire coming off the data link plug needs to go to Fuse #42 in the engine compartment.

The red/white wire goes into the cab and connects to the big, dark blue wire in the main harness coming out of the steering column. This is the TT keep alive wire but, it is also the ignition sense wire so we tell the Pulse or ControlPod to turn on. If you don't want the turbo timer to work, just the module, hook the red/white wire to anything that is keyed 12v power.

I will keep trying to get a couple of pictures up.
Quad, which DARK blue wire? J had me hooking up to different wires I believe and the code still existed(not that I care, I was just trying to help you guys out). Is there a new wire I should tie into?

still just the back light NO display.

left the box unhooked all night.
ground hooked to drivers side battery neg.
Red from Data Link hooked to fuse # 42
Red w/ white hooked to large blue from column

Both power wires test good at the main plug.

I'm gonna take it off put my MM box back on.

I guess I got the 1st bad 1...

Plug a USB cable into your computer, then plug it into your Pulse and see if it powers up and the display comes on.

Ok, just a longshot/guess. It sounds like the flash got erased. Maybe by acidentally plugging the red/white wire somewhere it was not supposed to go to? I don't know, it doesn't matter.

Next thing to try is when you plug it in and it powers up (backlight on) see if it beeps if you hit the top button.

The next thing after that would be to re-install the software via the USB port. Go to our USB update page and download the correct update for your year model. Make sure and save it to your computer, don't try and run it over the internet.

See if that solves the issue.

I don't think I had my ground tight enough last night... tried red to #42 and red/white to #28. Works great.
Fuel pressure readings were erratic though? It would 9-11 or so at idle. and go up a bit as I lightly hit the throttle
...but then when I got out on the highway and got on the throttle, it would read something like 43...50...35...60....etc.
