MSD Digital 6 Plus - Trigger Wire Voltage

FireSale · 11-08-2018, 01:20 PM

If it's one of the capacitive discharge (CD) boxes, there is a component in the box that stores voltage and releases it at a certain trigger level. Kind of like a high voltage battery in the box. It might be leaking the voltage you see. Disconnect the MSD box from the battery wire and see if the trigger still reads voltage.

EDIT: I'll put a volt meter to my digital 7 today and see it the trigger reads voltage with everything off.
