- 2015 viper ltx dx
HI! I have a 2015 viper ltx dx. Bought in September and took out for first time today. Ran for about 25 minutes. Stopped and shut it off. Now it will not start. The fan was on for a few minutes but since shut off. Still won't start and this was a couple hours ago...anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Put some heat to the fuse box on your clutch side it's above the coolant tank. This happened to my dad's last week and after we warmed it up we were back out on the trail

I’ve had that issue on my turbo sled. Once in a great while the ECU doesn’t fully power down. That prevents it from starting. The only fix is to take the negative battery cable off to force the ECU to shut down. If you are turbo’d you can tell if this happens by looking at the GEMS. If the ECU doesn’t shut down the GEMS will stay on. It a known issue with no solution. Has only happened to me once or twice in an entire season.
