I have an odd problem with my Zilla controller, only when I turn on headlights before 'key-on'. If I turn on headlights, wait, key-on and wait (even 30 seconds after pre-charge light is complete), I will only drive about 10 feet before the controller errors out and quits.
I have to disconnect main power to cycle the power off to the zilla hairball, give it a few seconds and re-connect to get it to reset.
If I turn headlights on AFTER I'm moving about 10 seconds and the controller makes 'the usual noise', no problem.
The only other facts I can think of that might be pertinent are that the car is my eMiata which is a series NA that has the flip-up headlights. I'm thinking that *something* turning on the headlights creates a power 'blink' that the hairball sees as an error even before key-on. What I cannot figure out is why it's ok if I turn headlights on once I'm moving and under power?!
Any ideas what this error could be or how to fix it?
