Preventing ScanGaugeII from going to sleep

Issue: Narcoleptic ScanGauge— Kill switch doesn't keep SGII alive when engine off coasting.

Ok, I know this has been discussed here and elsewhere but I'm still unable to solve my problem.

I successfully installed a kill switch in my Metro; much appreciation goes to "bbjsw10" too, btw. Obviously, having a kill switch solves all the fumbling around with the ignition/key but in theory (bypassing the standard ignition switch) I should be able to keep the SGII alive. However, mine still goes to sleep after a few seconds.

I've tried the 'hybrid' setting with no change. Are there any other criteria I could change? I doubt if it matters but mine's a 96 Metro with the 1.3L.

While I'm at it, I have to give props to "MetroMPG" for starting much of this madness on his site. He's the one that sold me on the ScanGauge in the first place. I'd just like to get the most out of it.

I've learned a lot just from lurking here and there for the last couple years, so thanks very much for all the info.

Patrick
