I am not a professional installer but am quite handy with wiring and installations of this sort. I installed the EVO-ALL with the T-Harness into my 2011 Nissan Quest (with Sliding Doors). I hooked up the 12V by splicing the wire behind the start button as instructed, as well as the parking lights and the door pin (which involved removing the entire dash and the instrument cluster.
Here's the problem:
When the car is started manually, with the lights in automatic mode (so they come on in the dark), they come on and everything behaves normally. When I go to shut the car off manually, it turns the auto headlights off after 30 seconds as it always has. All is good.
However, if I start the car with the EVO, it turns the lights on (when in auto mode) as it it should (when it's dark or the sensor is covered), but if I turn the car OFF with the EVO, the lights stay on forever after the engine stops. They never turn off and would drain the battery overnight. Interestingly, if I turn the car off manually, it reverts to working properly, turning the headlights off after 30 seconds (a time I can set through a nissan feature).
I tried to run this test in reverse - starting the car manually and shutting it off with the EVO, but the EVO does nothing to the car in this state. It must be programmed only to turn a car off that it has turned on. Is this correct?
Anyhow, I'm trying to find a way to use my automatic lights and shut the car down with the EVO without worrying about a dead battery.
Thanks,
Jeff
