When this happened to me, I found that my Ping unit was fried. It just takes a split second to touch wires were they don't belong. You will be lucky if you haven't blown something. Good luck. I hope things will be fine for you. If you go back and see D.J.s video on HOW to do this, it will help.

my 2 cents.

Is there a new video showing how to use the ping with the inline voltage regulator? If not, the old video would not be much help to him... The ping could have been defective right from the factory.....

Good Morning. I verified that coming out of the regulator is ~4.9 volts. That is the side going out to the sensor, so I think that is good. I think everything is working fine except for sensor. Have ordered a new one and will be very careful to connect correctly before applying power. Thanks for all the support and suggestions.

You probably didn't ruin the sensor... More than likely it was duff from the factory... Glad you got it sorted out though...

They are very sensitive sensors, even the slightest hint of static and they can play up.

Just wanted to update the thread. Received new sensor and it is working. Appreciate all the help.

Sweet, good to hear....

Thanks again to everyone.
