I picked up this thing called a SurgeGuard made by Calterm. It is supposed to
"stops voltage spikes by sending exces voltage to ground.... Prevents expensive vehicle electrical repairs."
It is supposed (to paraphrase) to protect the PCM, instument panel, ABS control module and other electronics when you are jump starting a vehicle, working on or welding near, or simply starting a vehicle can create an electrical spike that could damage the electronics.
Has anyone had experience with this little gizmo? Is it worthwhile, useless or snake oil?
I blew 0.42$ CAN on it to try it out! Man I hope I didn't waste my money....
