    Default Thoughts

    I was coming home from work today and the message board lit up, Vss fault, Limp mode, DPS. Pulled off the road, did the trick I read about here, turn the unit off and on 3 times and I made it home with just the DPS message. Got home, let it sit a little checked the manual. Turned the Spyder back on and nothing. Took to the shop to have them check it out. Any thoughts on what happened. I have my ideas, what's yours. Thanks

    Before you see the dealer, make sure your relays and fuses are tightly in place, and make sure the battery terminals (at the battery itself) are clean and tight. Also be sure the battery is fully charged.

    I think this is what should be on the "read before you leave card".
