Update - Installed three different, new batteries to verify it's not a battery issue.
Same situation exists. Turn ignition on, screen lights up, press mode, depress brake and hit start and --- nothing. No fuel pump coming on, no engine turning whatsoever.
Not sure if it is the left side housing itself where the mode and parking brake buttons are is dead, though the horn works.
All fuses are ok. Almost seems to be a loose or broken wire. Not sure where to proceed from here.

This conflicts with your post #24 the third item being
(3) is the fuel pump going through its usual priming sequence?
The fuel pump priming sequence is a fundamental part of the Spyder initialization process (which includes CANBUS actions to determine your specific Spyder configuration eg radio CB etc). Failure to prime the pump means failure to initialize the "computers" in the console, ECM, TCM, VCM, etc.
The good news is the problem might be something simple like a switch failure, wiring damage, fuse open or relay malfunctioning. The bad news is somehow you fried your ECM. I give 50-50 odds for each scenario.
Time to find a friend who can help you troubleshoot your wiring system using a DVOM, needle-style probes and of course a service manual with schematic. Or with a BUDS2 diagnostic system.

Based on my update for further knowledge, I misspoke thinking the fuel pump activated during the start process. It did not.
After trying three different batteries, it was determined that ain't the program. The dealer did a preliminary disgnostic test and it's not the ECM. Whether it's a simple wire damage or fuse issue is yet to be determined.
I checked all of the fuses and they looked fine but did not actually exchange new fuses. What specific fuse and/or relay should I zero in on to replace to check that out?

Repeat my post #9 and report back.
Then read my post #27. In simpler language, your ECM has to be working for the fuel pump to prime and I'm not convinced it is.
WRT swapping relays and fuses, when your wife isn't looking swap them with her F3L.

Was told by the dealership, the problem is the left side handlebar control housing. Ordering the complete housing to be installed next week.

Got the bike back home after 1 month at the dealer. Sat there for 3.5 weeks, diagnosed and fixed in 2 days.
The LH Multifunction Switch housing (Part#710008091) was the ultimate culprit. Fortunately, I had B.E.S.T. Extended Warranty and the part and labor was covered under warranty. I only had to pay the deductible of $50.
Has anyone else had this issue before? Was there anything (warning signs) I should have realized ahead of time this was a possibility? I was lucky in the fact I was only 1.5 hours from my house and was able leave the bike, get my trailer and load the bike that day.
It wouldn't have been pretty for this to happen thousands of miles from the house. No limp mode, it just died.

Yeah Dan, if you do a bit of searching & maybe a lot of reading, there's a HEAP of fairly recent problems like this with that LH Control.... Altho looking back a bit further, it seems the problems may have started to trickle in after the 2014 upgrade, increasing gradually until about 2018/19, then becoming somewhat more common and frustrating!
