has anyone had any sensor wackeyness with the GV1? No sensor plugged in the sensor display shows 0% but with the sensor plugged in (no magnet near it) it shows 97%. Is there any way to tell whether it is the GV1 box itself or just the sensor that is screwing up?

Greg,
I'm not sure if this will be true in every case, but I had the same symptoms with one of my GV1 sensors. Replacing the sensor fixed it.

I to have had a bad wire going to the sensor that caused it. Must have gotten pinched in a crash or something, but the GV-1 worked sometimes and sometimes not, and was wacky. New sensor cured the problem for me to Bob.
