Please explain the ignition bypass. Is there something in the factory wiring/componets that is trashing these dash control units?
It bypasses a relay in the ignition that tends to die out slowly and is hard to get to, hence why they thought of making a bypass relay that is easier to replace. Flashing Dic/dic off sometimes and coming back on, other electrical issues in the car such as heated seats stop working, possibly blower motor resistor, that stuff is possibly related.
