ya we've tried that, we've tried grounding the whole casing from the doorpin we've tried grounding it back to the battery and it just won't work, this is the first time i've had a problem with this and we've broken 2 other doorpins just messing around with this. thanks for the help though man

Have U put a meter on the switch pins tomake sure of open / close ?
Have U metered the ground also?
2 pins is 2 pins......either open , closed, or neutral
