Just a thought here if you are testing out of the car using the 12v DC transformer.
That enclosure is for in car so should be able to handle a peak running voltage of 14V. the filter will clean that up, and regulate it to 12v I assume, so there will be a voltage drop.
If the transformer is providing 12v and the filter tries to drop 2v, will the screen turn on with 10v?
Could that be the problem. Has anyone tried using the enclosure straight from a running car rather than with a transformer, with the filter in place using a meter inplace instead of the screen or controller?
