Got this installed about a month ago. Worked great at first...then broke about 2 days later. Finally got it fixed yesterday. Tried it once before I left the shop and it worked fine. Go to try it again today...doesnt work. WTF is the problem? Is this just a crap brand or what? Thanks.

Make sure it is wired up, and grounded prooperly.

its the nature of the beast. Check the wiring. If its the motor itself, take it back and demand a refund. I had a DMH cutout, and the whole idea I think is a POS. The thing dumped under my rear seat, and turned the floorboard black. It also shook my interior into a sympony of rattles. Then the wire running to the electric motor melted after 3 months on the car. Then the motor part fell completely off while I was driving soon after that. :mad:
So I sent the part back to DMH and it took them a couple of weeks to get me a new one. They were pretty cool about it, but I still had to pay shipping to send it back. And the new one uses a different motor design, which tells me that they were having problems with their old motors. Anyways, I have my cutout capped with a piece of metal, and I'm going to sell my new, never used e-cutout to help pay for a GMMG exhaust.

It seems there is NO dominant company for electric cut outs.
Every major brand has many tarnishes, and horror stories.
It doesn't seem to be that hard of a thing to keep it from failing...
