These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After installation noticed when engine was running I had no headlights heat AC or heated seats and yet if I switch the ignition on without firing the engine everything works fine. Checked the fuses and the only prob was the windshield wiper fuse was missing further investigation revealed that the pin that holds the fuse in place had been most probably pushed in by the tech during installation. Any intel would be appreciated

POST 3Original post

If this is the IMS Guardian you are referring to, you may have connected the primary lead to the wrong portion of the fuse box, or the orange secondary lead may be connected to an improper pin of an adjacent switch. This is my product to support, because I invented it. If you have questions or need support email [email removed]

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not to be confused with any Chinese knockoffs it is the original IMS Guardian and I will be flogging my mechanic first thing Monday morning. Thanks Jake

POST 5Original post

Don't be too hard on him.. Some cars have odd circuitry due to options. This is especially true if he used the rear window defrost circuit to connect the orange wire to. Have him call me if be has any issues.

Yep. That'll do it. Glad you found it and glad it wasn't an actual "Guardian Mystery".

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
