An electric issue might also relate to the connection issues... A sensitive device might not like odd issues from shorts or a bad connection, and based on the earlier cell-phone being plugged in failure, this seems a sensitive system.

I'm probably totally off base but it seems it might be time for anything even remotely plausible...

I'm only here because I don't need to spend any more money on my car and I wanted to read how miserable life is with boost.

To clarify, the cell phone situation is somewhat similar to yours. There were a lot of pre-installed accessories before the car came to CSG for the install, and some of these accessories were hot-wired into the electrical system, causing a permanent draw on the battery.

Many, many hours later, repairs were made to some partially damaged wiring, the hot wired electronics removed, a new ECU, and the car is now running. However, we're still working on getting it back up to 100%. Electrical stuff is a nightmare.
