Default not working?

alright well me and my buddy hooked up the nitrous and then wired all the switches, we tried to test shoot the nitrous to see if it worked and nothing. So we too all the wires we hooked up back out and hooked the switches straight up to the zex box to see if maybe we wired it wrong and still nothing. So i need to know if any has the zex dry kit and is using a button to activate it and not the tps like it says. I think it might have to be hooked up to the tps but we dont know. And if not what wires go to the button i know the white one does but thats the only one we had going to the push button. let me know if there is somthing else we need to hook the button up to besides the white wire from the box. anything will help and i appreciate it.

you have the White wire going to a switch?
Why use a button? put it on the TPS like it should be... the TPS has a 5v reference, if your hooking it to a 12v... that might be an issue.

Red wire (12v)... black (ground)... for arming switch.
that white wire is TPS @ a 5v. not 100% sure about that but i think that the TPS is only 5v. if you wanted to use some kinda switch, find a constant 5v. tap into that with a switch for the white wire.

I really think you should use it on the TPS tho. its safe and leaves less room for error.

so the activation button im using needs a 5v power source and the white wire from the box, if so what would be a good 5v source?
