Re: E Z Pass Problem

I would suspect a bad tag. Mine works fine, but it is an older SunPass (Florida).

Re: E Z Pass Problem

Mine has about a 50% success rate. In the beginning I had kept it inside the drivers side dash compartment, and it would fail every now and then so then tried mounting it behind the rear view. After a few more failures, I then moved it to the base of the windshield. Still failed every now and then so I asked ezpass (NY) for a new one. Received it last month and it still fails every so often..

Now thinking about the license plate tag and hiding it behind the grill inbetween my hella horns.

Mine only worked well mounted low on the windshield drivers side.

Re: E Z Pass Problem

I guessing your from Florida??? If so I have painted mine flat black and mounted it on the center of the dash flat just at the inside edge of the windshield.Blends in nicely and looks like part of the dash.Works flawlessly at 80mph through Florida Turnpikes drive thru lanes.
If is is double beeping change out the battery with new and let the sunpass people know your having an issue.Florida is pretty good at taking care of the issue.

Re: E Z Pass Problem

when the tag get old the battery in the transponder will begin to fail. Exchange it if it's not too much of a pain in the butt.
