First ride of the season, 4 miles from the truck, pull over to check map, viper shuts off and now won't start.

With the key turned the dsh or gauges are not getting power.... I'm getting power to the fuse box but no power from the fuse box to the dash, handlebar controls or the ROV....

Fuses and relays are all fine and I couldn't see any wires that are bad. Grounds were all fine.

Jumped the starter relay above the batter and the starter rolls over.

I jumped the tether and still nothing

I'm stumped and don't want to take it to the dealer. Any help?
 
Check your brake light fuse again. It powers the dash and brake lights. I had mine blow when a phone charger shorted out my power plug socket once and it did what you are describing
 
Fuse is fine. I put a jumper wire to the taillight fuse and still noting.....
 
Cable810, Check my post these vipers have gremlin's!
 
I have read your post. I however can not get the dash gauge to turn when the key is turned.... gauge works cause we jumped power to it from the battery. Battery is fine not low or anything.

Seems like it's something in the ignition but in stumped. I don't think It can be the tether cause I had be messing with my rov and I had power going to the relay even when the key was off.

Either way I might be buying another sled this weekend.... I've had enough. Had a great season and half on this sled and its been noting but issues ever since... I don't wanna give up but at what point am I gonna keep driving 3 hrs one way to ride and constantly have issues...

I'd let this sled go for a song as she sits
 
If you have a heated visor cord did you happen to unplug it when you stopped to check your map?
 
Kill switch?
 
It was an overlooked fuse that I thought was good

Now onto why my PC6 won't accept any tunes....
 
If you have a heated visor cord did you happen to unplug it when you stopped to check your map?
Reason I ask is positive and negative is exposed so these cords often blow fuses when they dangle and contact a metal surface like the running boards.
 
I think what happened was my ROV failed and stayed shut while riding. My guess is it overloaded the system and over pressurized the oil tank thus blowing the fuse!
