TST powermax2 problems

me and a buddy got the bright idea to completely unplug the stock wiring at the map sensor and only leave the box plugged in........we were told the truck would either go into "limp" mode, or run like a scalded ape. well we tryed it and limped down the road about a 1/4 mile before i turned around limped back to hook the thing back up normally.
ever since then truck seems to run stock, have a "on" light and boost light, but no fuel light. I checked all connections twice now and even replaced scotch lock at pump, no luck. is the the box ruined? is there a reset on it?
thanks a lot for any comments
maybe i shouldnt have been so dumb in the first place

Yup! 5v fuse just downstream from box ..... and don't just eyeball it. Mine looked ok but had hard to see break in it! They tend to snap anytime box is re-hooked up!
