- 2014 Viper LTX SE / MCX190
Happy Wednesday!
Couple issues I'm having with my 2014 Viper LTX SE - MCX190
1) Always need to carry a booster pack when riding - sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't.
2) Sled wont start at all. I turn the key and it clicks at the starter relay solenoid near the battery. Bought a new relay and it doesn't even do anything. Battery is good.
3) ECU has been flashed - Do i need a new starter? Is there more damage?
It's literally always an issue when starting this sled. I have zero faith that I can go for a ride, shut it off then have it re-start without any issue. There HAS to be an actual fix for this?

Is your starter original?
Many of these starters had the magnets break and cause the starter to drag and eventually fail.
If your starter is original to the machine it may be time to remove, inspect and possibly replace it.
