Hey Guys -
I've got a 2001 Grand Touring that has been well maintained. Last weekend I rode 20 miles through a fair amount of powder before shutting the machine off at the gas pumps. Noticing the pump I stopped at was broken - I started it up and back up 10 feet - stopped and fueled it. I started it again to leave (with the machine in reverse by mistake) and accidentally depressed the kill switch while shifting it out of reverse- shutting her down again. That was the last time the engine would run. The machine has never started since.
I check the continuity across the wires on the kill switch - good (open when up, shorted when down). I am getting absolutely no spark at the plugs when I turn it over with the starter.
The machine has a DESS switch and a key. I've heard that if the DESS chip is bad - the machine will still start but not rev-up. I've also heard that if the DESS post goes bad then the machine will not start. Can I check for voltage on any of the 3 wires connected to the DESS post? I checked and saw no DC voltage on any of the three wires.
Is there anyway to check the calibration module (computer) for power, etc? My module has four wiring ports on it (others have six - I've been told). Any thoughts?
Seems wierd that the sled would die for no apparent reason other than possibly excessive moisture due to the powder we were in.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
