I haven't seen a lot of anything on here that someone or another has not had issues with sooner or later. I myself have been problem free right from the install, had it a year now. What does matter to me is how I am treated after the sale of a product. As far as that goes I have yet to see one single customer dissatisfied with the service they got after the sale from JD. It's unmatched.
No offense to anyone here, but the people complaining will always be more vocal than those that are satisfied. I'm not even sure why anyone asks for help on the forum for these shocks, all you get is opinions/guesses about what's wrong. Everyone that owns these should save themselves the time and just call J.D for anything related to the product. You'll get your problem solved faster than waiting for a bunch of guys on the internet to give you their $.02.
To the OP just give JD a call and he'll get you squared away.

for $1500 all of the components should be top of the line with very limited issues...Like has been stated here a million times, its awesome that JD knows his **** and will send you out new parts overnight, but I might suggest he look into the vendors he is getting his components from and perhaps do some upgrading.

thanks guys for the heads up. I am quite aware of JD's service to his customers. But I am also asking what other people did with there relay mounting/routing. It helps to know what other people have done since i installed myself i only have experience with one unit for wire routing and what not.

I have to say but I've had mine on for over 4 years now and no issues what so ever. I think some may be caused by the wire routing. JMO. one thing to look at is the battery connections and make sure they are good cause poor connections can cause many issues with the componets...

Check your connections, as far as issues I haven't seen any issues other then a few loose connection, easy fix. I have installed 2 of them so far and they are a great product. Don't bash until you actually own one.
