Re: Weird fuse issues

The pressure switch is hooked into the digital side car. When the sidecar gets power, all of the inputs are pulled high (getting a positive reading). When the pressure switch hits 120 psi, it opens, and should make contact between a ground pin and a signal pin. When your sidecar is unpowered, it sees this ground anyway, thinking that the system is at 120 psi.
