Hondata Blinking light .. hmmmm
Hey guys, I'm having this really weird thing happen to my hondata blue box (S200b with datalogging).
I have it mounted in the glove box - the red/blank cable going to the Hondata chipped P28 ECU and sometimes I notice when I drive with the glove box open I see the red LED light go on and off. Its not blinking in any fashion just whenever it wants. I tug on the cable to make sure its in there good and sometimes the light with stay on other times it will flash. Also I did notice that if I shake my hondata blue box that the whole circuit board moves, kinda odd, like its not in there good enough.
One more thing ..
The car doesn't stall when the light goes out, its seems fine. Although when Im datalogging and the light happens to flash, the Hondata logging software loses the connection to the laptop and it stop datalogging.
I think Im going to try a new red/black cable first, then maybe if that doesn't help send my blue blox to Hondata and see if they can see anything wrong with it.
You guys experience this or am I just a freak, lol

They all rattle a bit, not really anything to worry about.
You should defenitly check your ribbon cable first (the cable going from the blue box to the ECU). If its not that your pretty much SOL, Hondata 9 out of 10 times will just say its fine and send it back, but you may get lucky.

I have seen this same problem on a buddies car. Turned out the terminals in the connector at the blue box end were spread apart and not contacting the pins inside the blue box connector. Squeezed these together some and it fixed the problem.
